Very quick and easy to make. My whole family loved it... even my 3 year old.

We have made this since it was first published in TOH 2010!! LOVE IT!! We use grilled chicken breast tossed with Buffalo wing sauce instead of sausage sometimes! Great for football parties!

This might be one of THE BEST pizza recipes my husband and I have ever tasted. For convenience, I use a can of drained "Italian Style" diced tomatoes...the topping is sooo good.

so good - even in the winter when tomatoes aren't their peak - can't wait to make in the summer w/ ripe tomatoes from the farmers market and I think it would be good grilled~

Very good. I loved the fresh tomato taste. Paired it with a green salad and it made a wonderful, light summer meal. It was so tasty I will definately make it again.

Both times we made this we just used sausage, no pepperoni, and it was great! It is a good way to use all the fresh tomatoes starting to come in.

Not your traditional pizza. Fantastic fresh flavor! Made it twice in one week...everyone has asked for the recipe!

We love pizza but it is usually so loaded with fat, calories, etc. that we rarely had it. Tried this good for you recipe & it was delicious. Am going to try some different toppings.

I made this on Sunday... I think it is the best homemade pizza I've ever made. Sooooo delicious, and was even amazing cold for lunch the next day!

It's our new favorite pizza! I tried it for the first time three weeks ago for our Friday night pizza tradition and have made it every Friday since then. My husband loves the hearty sausage and pepperoni layer and that fresh tomato, basil, basalmic vinegar topping is just out of this world! It's a perfect summer meal!
