Its so incredibly inexpensive to make your own pizza and its a blast to make! This Pesto Caprese Pizza is packed with flavor using very basic ingredients. Store bought {good quality} pesto, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, salt, pepper and a little drizzle of olive oil. The homemade crust is thin, bubbly and perfectly crisp. This
