Decided to make this when my mother was gone since I love strawberries and pistachios and she's allergic to strawberries. Loved the flavors, but I should have used soft goat cheese instead of feta. I found the toppings fell off a little more than I would have liked, so I ended up eating about half of the topping salad style. Still, very good flavors!

I expected to like this better than I did, but I made a number of substitutions (feta for goat cheese, arugula for greens, and a homemade crust). Since my crust wasn't pre-baked, I inadvertently undercooked it. I ended up putting the pizza back in the oven after I added the toppings to finish cooking. Probably would have been better if I had followed directions.

My husband asks for this again and again! It's so light and fresh, not to mention quick and easy. Also good with raspberries instead of strawberries.

This is WONDERFUL!!! Totally unexpected ingredients combine for a delectable taste that you want to make again right away. We used Boboli brand thin crust.

I made this over the summer and loved it! My friend and I helped ourselves to seconds (and thirds!). I used Pillsbury pizza dough and substituted spinach for the watercress. Will definitely make this again.

This is a delicious recipe that would be ideal for summer and spring menus. I found it a bit tedious to put together by myself with the pistachios needing shelling and trimming the watercress. Next time I will do the prepwork earlier so it will come together easier under pressure.

Made this for lunch this afternoon and it was well received. I've been a fan of Mama Mary's pizza crusts for over a year. My only substitution was spinach for the watercress. Loved the sweet/tart combo of strawberries and goat cheese. Will definitely make this again. Beautiful presentation.
