Can I tell you a secret?

I don’t love pizza.

I KNOW! I KNOW! I’m an alien. I’m a total weirdo. Pizza is just not my favorite food, I usually feel pretty sick after I eat it and it is something that I rarely crave.

Until I made this recipe.

I made this about a week ago and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. There isn’t a traditional crust, it’s not loaded with cheese, but it has all the pizza elements and it makes me want to sing. Sing and dance. This recipe makes me want to reconsider my disdain for pizza all around. While singing and dancing.

If all pizzas tasted this yummy, maybe I would feel differently.

Maybe not.

Regardless, don’t judge my odd dislike for the most obvious food to love, just try this recipe and let me know what you think.
