Yum! Made several pizzas for a family reunion this summer using frozen pizza dough that we grilled prior to adding veggies. Used all fresh veggies from our garden and there was not a crumb left. Light and delicious!08/31/08

I used 8" flatbreads instead and jazzed it up a bit by adding a layer of fresh ricotta (with thyme/oregano mixed in) under the squash. I then finished it off in the oven. I thought it was outstanding. Great grill flavor and the ricotta made it slightly sweet.07/17/08
