Garlic Pesto Pizza

I’m always trying to find quick meals that don’t lack in taste.  One of our favorites are homemade pizzas.  Growing up, we hand rolled the pizza dough, made the sauce, and went all out.  As much as I love it I don’t have the time usually to make that.

After trial and error I came up with this easy to make pizza you can use either pita bread, flat bread, or tortillas for.  If you’re a crispy thin crust lover go with a tortilla.  If you like a little thickness then pita bread if your winner.

The toppings can easily be altered based on your likes and pantry supplies.  When I have leftover chicken I throw it on my husbands pizza.  I’ve also found I love some spinach and sun-dried tomatoes as well.

When you’re looking for an easy, quick, delicious meal this is the one for you.
