This tasty pizza has an unusual crepe-like crust. The fast-to-fix entree gets its great flavor from sausage, green pepper, mushrooms and mozzarella. —Marie McConnell, Shelbyville, Illinois

This is really good! And fun!Next time I will not add the salt. I did add Italian seasoning,onion and garlic powder to the crust dough. And, I will pre-bake the crust before adding the meat - the center of crust was not done enough for me.
