Inspired by the California Club pizza from California Pizza Kitchen, I decided to whip up my own version. It's loaded with tons of fresh veggies, so that means it has to be good for you, right? —Robert Pickart, Chicago, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) frozen pizza dough, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup ready-to-use grilled chicken breast strips
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded romaine
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves, chopped

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450°. Grease a 14-in. pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to prepared pan; build up edges slightly. Sprinkle with cheese, chicken and bacon. Bake until crust is lightly browned, 10-12 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, place romaine and arugula in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest and pepper. Pour over lettuces; toss to coat. Arrange over warm pizza. Top with tomato, avocado and basil. Serve immediately.
