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!
