This was super easy and delicious. My children actually gave up their pizzeria pizza to finish this one. I will definitely be making this again but will have to make 2-3 pies. I used pizza crust in a can (like bread sticks) and shredded mozzarella. I used petite diced tomatoes and the spices and it was truly delicious. Thank you for such a fast and easy recipe.
