If you like pesto and pizza, you will definitely like this pesto pizza! I always have a batch of homemade pizza dough in the freezer and I just took it out the night before to defrost for dinner time the next day. I also used my favorite pesto sauce from Costco. This pesto pizza is quick and simple, especially if you already have the ingredients on hand. You can also use a store bought pizza dough, I have heard that Trader Joe's has a good one but I haven't tried it yet. Enjoy!
