White pizza

I made this yummy pizza last night. It was really good. I used a pizza stone in the oven. I think next time I might try it on the grill.

White Pizza

Ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella are the three cheeses highlighted in this meatless pizza. A packaged pizza crust makes it an easy choice for busy weeknights.
