This was great! I'm so surprised more people haven't tried it. It's super easy and so good. The sauteed mushrooms and ricotta dollops give it a fancy taste. I added a little crumbled bacon as well. Cheaper and much better than takeout! Step-by-step photos on my blog: http://me-myself-and-pie.blogspot.com/2009/12/three-cheese-pizza-w-mushroom-basil.html
