This recipe for the pizza crust was adapted from the original by the Gluten Free Palate.

We have "Friday Night Pizza" in our home most weeks and although we love the original cheese pie, sometimes we enjoy seeing what goodies the fridge holds and what we can make from them. That is how this happy accident came to be. I was going to make a recipe from the blog, Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Pesto Pizza, but I wasn't feeling the tomato sauce and was out of prosciutto, so I went with an all pesto base and added some cooked chicken, sauteed garlic spinach, as well as, some wonderfully sweet caramelized onions. And tada! We have one excellent new pizza. Believe it or not, some of my most favorite recipes have come from a good fridge clean out.
