If you like pizza, I think you'll enjoy this recipe. I like making this better than regular pizza because I don't have to make a crust.

This recipe was a hit in our family. I used pizza sauce instead of tomato sauce. Next time I will add some fresh mushrooms. It was great for leftovers to. My husband said I can make it anytime.

This definitely tasted like pizza! I used a whole green bell and a little water in the sauce cause it was super thick.

This was a good recipe. I added mushrooms and instead of tomato sauce I used a 14oz jar of pizza sauce and a can of Italian diced tomatoes. It needed a little more topping though since I added extra sauce. Next time I will add more topping mixture.

I enjoyed this recipe. I made it using a vegetarian "sausage" and by using both regular tomato sauce and pizza sauce. It was good! It's pretty easy, too, so I will probably make it again and add other pizza ingredients, like mushrooms.

This dish was just okay. It tasted good enough, but there just wasn't enough to it to be satisfying, especially when you consider the calories/serving!

My family loves this recipe, we've modified it some adding the types of toppings the kids like on regular pizza and subsituting ground beef instead of sausage - their favorite additions are pepperoni and fresh mushrooms. A great dish you can vary to meet your familys tatse!
