Very nice change from the usual pizza, & WE LOVED IT! The only thing I'd change another time is to make my own pizza crust, BUT for ease in preparation, this recipe works great! I did use both a cup of thinly sliced leeks as well as about 1/3 cup of sliced onion, with everything else as called for in the recipe! Want to keep hold of this one!

We made 2bleu's 2easy Boboli and Slow Roast Tomatoes to add some more zing to this dish. We also topped it with a light sprinkling of shredded mozzerella cheese. This made a very nice and light snack for us. The fresh tomatoes compliment this dish well compared to a pasta sauce which can make for a heavier pizza. Thanks for posting.

This made a tasty main dish meal for me even with an appetizer serving. I used white onions since thats what I had on hand, but other than that I made as writen with great results. This makes a great change from the normal tomato sauce based pizza!
