Description
This pizza recipe came from yahoo! Food with some alterations by me. I used a premade boboli-style pizza crust instead. I also think the pesto would be better spead under the eggplant or maybe even without it at all. I loved the eggplant so much i thought the pesto and cheese overpowered it. See what you think? On the matter of pizza dough and pesto it recommennded store-bought or homemade again – your preference.
