I had a 15 lb orange tabby named Walt who would sit on the stool while I was cooking.

This was amazing!! I can’t wait to make it again. I threw in a shallot into the pesto and did green pepper, red onion, and yellow squash on top. And did some hot honey as well! So good. Wondering if you or anyone else has tried to freeze the pesto? I’m the only one eating this pizza in my house and just made one pizza for myself. Thanks for sharing!

5 stars! I made this pizza last night and it was one of the best pizzas I’ve made (other than your kale pizza). I added caramelized onions and used mozzarella cheese, with additional feta on my half. I will absolutely make this pizza again. Many thanks Kate!

I made this recipe today! It was my first time making pizza and my first time making dough from scratch. It was really tasty! I LOVED the arugula pesto and the goat cheese. The whole grain crust had a yummy, nutty flavor. When I loaded the pizza with butternut squash ribbons, I felt that the crust overpowered the butternut squash. I think next time, I will try roasting some butternut squash cubes and then put them on top! Thank you for a great recipe!!

I used Trader Joe’s pizza crust and grilled the pizza because it was a beautiful spring-like evening here and why not be outside? So, so, so tasty.

Made this last night with a few changes. Already had pesto made from the garden and used a sweet potato instead of the squash because it’s what I had. Used the goat cheese, some leftover fresh mozzarella, some homemade ricotta, lots of garlic and red onion. No arugula, my boyfriend doesn’t care for it. I buy pizza crusts from Jerry’s in New Jersey whenever I go to Brooklyn to visit my daughter; it makes an awesome pizza base. This was a delicious combo of flavors, we ate the whole thing, piggies that we are. Thanks for a great idea.

In reply to Fiona. Hi Fiona, this pizza would be delicious with a variety of vegetables on top. You could make ribbons out of zucchini or yellow squash in place of the butternut, or just slice vegetables of your choice into small, thin pieces, toss them with oil and use those as your topping.
