Homemade Vegetable Pizza

Who doesn’t love pizza? Pizza is comfort food. It is also super easy to make on your own.

Personal pizzas allow you to add the toppings of your choice: pepperoni, chicken, mushrooms, peppers, pineapple, the possibilities are endless!

What a lot of people do not realize is that pizza can be nutritious. Creating your own homemade pizza is a great way to add extra vegetables to your plate. Pizza can also provide a whole grain through the crust and protein from cheese and other toppings.
