*I love this pizza. I was actually first introduced to it by The Food Nanny where the recipe comes from. It's no doubt my favorite pizza flavor now. Its really good with peppers on it also my Dad keeps trying to get my mom and I to put bacon on it. :) Definitely try this pizza because its vegetarian too!*
