10. Layer over pesto in this order, as you slice; slivered zucchini, mushrooms, onion (if someone isnt fond of onion, finely chop) and peppers.
11. Layer over pizza sauce in this order; spice, ham, mushrooms, pineapple, pepperoni, you name it!!!
Bake in hot oven on separate racks on opposite sides of oven for 10 minutes.(Unless you have a convection oven. then they just need to be on separate racks)
When timer rings, you may like to melt your cheese more. You can do this by broiling them one at a time, until the cheese bubbles. You will have to stay and watch or before you know it, you end up with a burnt mess.
I purchase Deli World brand crusts. I just think they taste most like take-out crust. They come in packages of three. I make all three at one time and whatever we dont eat I freeze for easy entertaining or a bail out meal. Simply wrap the extra, once cooled, in plastic wrap.
