Pesto Pepper Pizza

September 3, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

Pesto Pepper Pizza is a vegetarian pizza that utilizes pesto in place of pizza sauce to give it an extra zing and is topped off with sweet peppers and mozzarella cheese.

Here is another recipe using home made pesto, (click here to be directed to my recipes for Pesto 3 Ways). For the Pesto Pepper Pizza I used Celery Pesto as the sauce. I topped it with strips of sweet red bell pepper and freshly grated mozzarella cheese. Bake until golden brown and you have a tasty pizza that you can’t put down!

Try my recipe for Pizza Dough for the Pesto Pepper Pizza or a store bought dough would work also. If you make my Pizza Dough, consider making my recipe for Canadian Bacon & Green Olive Pizza or my recipe for Four Cheese Pizza.

Enjoy!
