Delicious! I used homemade pesto on a cauliflower crust with all the veggies except artichokes because I didn’t have any, and I also added mozzarella cheese. Amazingly delicious and my husband said it was restaurant quality. Will definitely be making this again.
We often make a variation of this using pesto for the sauce, but different toppings: Kalamata olives (instead of black), Capers (instead of artichokes), yellow or Jalapeno sliced peppers; you can be creative! Definitely use the fresh sliced tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. Delish!
Delish!!! I didnt have feta on hand and used fresh mozz. Fantastic!!
My family had doubts about this recipe but it was a hit with everyone. Didn’t change a thing. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for.sharing.
This was so delicious. I used a store brought flatbread and used the pesto. Topped with fresh mozzarella, feta, tomatoes and sweet pepper. Sprinkled a little chopped fresh basil. So good, cheap to make, easy and tastes like something from a restaurant. The perfect quick summer appetizer
Made it according to the recipe-didn’t change anything. Everyone in my family loved it!
I followed most of the ingredients. I didn’t use artichoke though. I did use a cauliflower crust and it was very good. I cooked it for about 12 min.
It’s my new go to quick meal! The variations are endless. I had extra naan bread around and used it instead of pizza crust. #winner!
Wow amazing!!!! I veganized this with vegan feta and pesto!!! I also sautéed the green peppers and onions before putting in the oven and made 2 smaller pizza using flat bread as the crust!! My husband was blown alway with it! I think next time ( yes there will definitely be a next time), I will use sundries tomatoes!! Thanks so much for the great recipe!!!
I will definitely make this recipe again-pesto is a great idea to put on pizza! I didn’t follow the recipe exactly though. I just put on what I liked.
it’s cool
This is actually a great mix of ingredients! I’m normally a carnivore, but this was a perfect group of veggies that make a pizza great!
We loved this! Tried it with feta cheese on one half and herbed spreadable goat cheese on the other half and loved both halves! Thanks for a great recipe.
We thought the artichoke overpowered the flavor profile of the pesto base. Also, I added some mozzarella cheese to melt it all together.
I wasn’t paying attention and bought the bigger cans of olives and artichoke hearts. Mine turned out looking like a mountain instead of a pizza. The flavor was good, but the edges burned before the feta browned. I think that was my screw up from too many olives and artichokes. Basically I ended up with a pretty good artichoke salad with bread on the bottom. I would make it again though–may the right way this time. My only complaint is that I really feel it’s stretching it calling it a pizza–maybe I’m set in my ways, but I think any pizza I have I want a tomato sauce taste to it.
Excellent taste. I made my own pesto with the basil from my garden. You can also add whatever veggies or protein you have available. I had some salmon steaks so I cut thing slices and put those on as well as the peppers, red onion, artichoke hearts. I also used pieces of fresh mozzarella as well as some grated parm. Overall flavor very good and a great way to use leftover items for a delicious dinner.
I put a little pizza sauce on there too. Yummy!
I was looking for something to do with the pesto sauce and left over gorgonzola in my fridge and this recipe hit the spot. Between my fridge and pantry I had all the ingredients all ready so it didn’t cost a dime. I replaced the feta with the gorgonzola and just used less. Worked great. Thanks for the recipe!
This is a really delicious simply recipe. I made this on fresh baked focaccia using a fresh spinach basil pesto. I added chicken for added substance, but feel it would have tasted just as good without. I only gave it 4 stars because I don’t think it would have been as tasty using store bought bread and/or pesto from a jar. That’s just my opinion.
Loved it even though I ended up not having artichokes, tomatoes, or olives. I used frozen onions and frozen green peppers. I also didn’t much feta left, so I used mozzarella. I also used a whole grain crust. My 6 yr old tried a bite and said yuck but I thought it was great.
I did half pesto and half marinara, loved it. It was a little too strong for me on the pesto.
