I agree about the sauce...I made the whole amount but only used half, and it still might have been a bit too much...but the pizza was very good!

Excellent. I used a mexican blend cheese and this is definitely much easier to manage after it has cooled a bit and using a knife and fork. I would definitely make this again. Very pleased and even my 5 year old liked it.

Thanks to the others, I cut the sauce in half. My family liked it. Next time, I will chop the avocado because the slices kept falling off.

This tasted awesome, but I do agree about too much sauce. Reduce the amount of dressing, and you'll be golden. My family loved this!

This flavor combo was delish, but there was way way way too much sauce. I think it would be better with just 1/2 c. of ranch dressing, and definitely let it set for the full 10 minutes (I may have rushed it a bit, because my toppings slid off left and right!). Also, I put all the cheese on top, but it might be better to layer half on the bottom, right over the sauce, and the other half on top of the chicken and veggies.
