This is a delicious pizza that's a combination of a pesto pizza and antipasto salad!!! Created by the Pantry Raiding Divas for the Zaar World Tour II!

This was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I used whole wheat flat bread and and it came out fantastic. Thank you.

This was really good! I added onions to the mushrooms, but made everything else according to the recipe. Next time, I will add something to give the pizza a little spice too. Thanks for the great recipe!!

I made this for myself! Yes a whole pie for myself thinking my husband wouldn't like it for he does not like pesto, Artichokes and black olives! Duh!!! (Smack me in the head) He loved it! I did make him his own pie which he ate half. He started with a slice of this pie ate half of the one I made him and then went on to eat more of this oh so good pie!! I did make a couple changes...... I used 1 pound of fresh pizza dough, 1/2 the pesto and glad I did for I think it would have been to much and soggy, The other 1/2 would be great to dip in after it`s baked for a more fresh taste! I did saute onions and garlic before adding the mushrooms and tossed in fresh thyme. I favored Mozzarella cheese because I didn't want to overpower the roasted artichokes and mushrooms. I didn`t top with parm and it did need it! I must say this is a winner!!!!!!!!

I'd never made pesto before and was worried about the pizza after tasting the pesto - a bit bitter. I went ahead and assembled everything, baked it, served it and received great reviews! All the ingredients blended with no individual taste jumping out - it was great! Easy, and nicely unique!
