I liked this a lot and it was easy to make. I used a whole wheat thin crust but will try to find the suggested crust next time.

Yummy. To really knock it out of the ball park try adding crumbled bacon.

LOVE this pizza. We end up coming back to it several times a year. We use the smaller personal sized pre-made pizza crusts and this makes a delicious and filling meal for 2. We also bake ours on a pizza stone for a crispier crust. One of our favorite, no-fail recipes.

Fast & easy work night option. We love caramelized onions so kept them in the cast iron skillet longer than called for, and since our crust was not an herb crust I added some dried herbs to the onions just before I took them off the heat. We also added a touch of mozzarella to help bind the ingredients to the pizza. Toasted Pine nuts might be a nice addition.

Unless I'm totally blind, I don't see in the recipe what size pizza pan to use. Other than the crust, I followed recipe ingridients exactly.I didn't use a Boboli pre-made crust and had a 14inch pizza pan. I ended up using 2 boxes of "Jiffy" pizza crust mix to make a thin crust pizza to cover the pan, and according to the box one of those boxes should have been enough for a 14inch pan. As a result I had to double all the ingredients accordingly but it was worth the end result. Great blend of flavors and easy to make. A great way to use up the Basel gone rampant in the garden. and a "must keep" recipe for the file. Based on what I spent for everything between the cheese, sauce, tomatos, and onions I figure I made this delicious pizza for about $5 which is a bargain and there were enough sun dried tomatoes in the jar to use for another time. Great recipe!
