That looks delicious! I have to say though, I'm more of a pizza purist: I usually stick to buffalo mozzarella and basil. But I mean, if someone were to offer me a slice of that yummy-looking chicken pesto pizza I would definitely not turn it down :P
This looks yummy. Let us know how it goes!
Oooh...yummy. I do a similar pizza using pillsbury pizza crust, alfredo sauce, pesto, jalapenos, mushrooms, mozzarella, parmesan, and feta cheese--it's delicious, you should try it!
