Pesto Pizza with Artichoke, Feta and Roasted Pepper

The healthiest way to enjoy pizza is using a thin crust and refraining from deli meats and excess cheese. This pizza has a lot of flavor from the vegetables and feta cheese. Use a pizza stone to create a crispier crust.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°f. Line a baking sheet with foil.

2. Place the pizza crust on the baking sheet, and spread the pesto evenly over the crust. Top with the artichokes, feta and mozzarella cheeses, roasted pepper and olives. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pizza crust gets crisp and lightly browned. Cut into 8 wedges.
