After eating stuffed pizza at various Italian restaurants, I decided to come up with my own version. The filling is very rich and resembles broccoli lasagna.

I'm glad you found a way to use up your leftover broccoli! I'll have to try adding chicken to the filling next time I make this pizza.

This pizza was a great way to use up leftover broccoli. I also added some cooked chicken to the filling, which made it even more hearty.

This pizza was delicious! The crust was thin and crispy, and the broccoli and cheese filling was creamy and flavorful. I especially liked the addition of the garlic and herbs.

I loved the idea of this pizza, but I found that the broccoli was a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a smaller amount of broccoli and more cheese.

This pizza was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made pizza crust to save time, and the broccoli and cheese filling came together quickly. The pizza was a bit messy to eat, but it was worth it.

I'm not usually a fan of broccoli, but this pizza changed my mind. The broccoli was roasted to perfection and had a slightly charred flavor that complemented the cheese and sauce perfectly.

This broccoli cheese stuffed pizza was a hit with my family! The crust was crispy and flaky, and the filling was cheesy, gooey, and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
