Spinach-Pesto White Pizza image

When my kids were really small, they were reluctant to eat their veggies and I had to get creative. I figured that because pesto is already green, it would be the perfect place for some spinach. The pizza was a big hit. -Janet Burbach, North Platte, Nebraska

This pizza is delicious! The crust is perfectly crispy, the pesto is flavorful, and the white sauce is creamy and cheesy. I will definitely be making this again.

This pizza was a little too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less red pepper flakes next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pizza didn't turn out as good as the picture. The crust was too thick and the pesto was too oily.
