YOU GUYS.
This pizza is literally summer, in pizza form. Everything about it just makes me so incredibly excited for summer! I have such fond memories of eating corn on the cob on our back deck by the pool, music playing while my dad grilled burgers and summer squash for dinner.
Aside from the wonderful summer memories it evokes, it’s also a pretty perfect spring dish! I know we’re still weeks away from summer so this pizza is a great way to get excited for it while still celebrating the spring produce that has started to pop up in the stores.
You can also get as crazy with this pizza as you want. You could add fresh tomatoes, yellow squash, asparagus. I wanted to keep it to these simple ingredients, but honestly the world is your oyster! Get out there and add as many ingredients as your heart desires 🙂
Whether you choose to put your own spin on it or not, you can feel good knowing that as its base, it’s providing you whole grains from the crust, protein from the cheese, veggies and heart-healthy fat thanks to it’s subtle olive oil layer.
