Open in Pepper →Pizza is the one dinner nobody argues about, and it's the easiest way to get spinach, mushrooms, or peppers onto a plate without a fight. A little sauce and cheese makes almost any vegetable welcome.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on nights when the fridge has odds and ends and everyone wants something warm and shareable in under an hour, or when company is coming and a cold veggie pizza can be cut into squares ahead of time.
Every recipe here is one of those: Grilled Margherita Pizza with sauce and sliced mozzarella, Easy Margherita pizza on store-bought dough, Greek White Pizza with ricotta and cream cheese, Mini mushroom pizza built on portobello caps, the crescent-dough Veggie Pizza with ranch seasoning, and a Cauliflower Crust White Pizza with garlic and spinach.
Heat the pan first
Slide dough onto a sheet pan or stone that's been in a 475°F oven for at least 20 minutes so the bottom crisps instead of steaming.
Cook wet vegetables first
Sauté mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach 3 to 5 minutes and pat them dry before topping, or they'll release water onto the crust.
Go light on sauce
About 1/2 cup of sauce covers a 12-inch crust. Any more and the middle stays soggy no matter how long you bake.
Chill the cold ones
For the crescent-dough veggie pizza, cool the baked crust completely and refrigerate 1 hour after topping so it slices into clean squares.
