Bacon Artichoke & Tomato Pizza with Pesto & Goat Cheese ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #pizza #recipe


This is a quick weeknight, faster-than-delivery and just-as-good-as-that-funky-pizza-place kinda recipe. It was one of those combinations that just occurred to me randomly one day at work as I was talking with one of my friends. I tucked away the idea for later when I needed a quick meal, knowing I had a few fresh tomatoes from my little patio tomatoes, some cooked, crumbled bacon that I’d stashed in my freezer and a partly-used jar of artichoke hearts in my fridge.

And then I found myself rushing home last week from work … I was starving, with so much to do and no time to cook. That was when I knew it was time to make this pizza. I grabbed a frozen pizza crust from the freezer, tossed the toppings on it, then when it was baked, I took a few minutes to relax, breathe and eat my funky pizza on the patio. A few minutes later I was ready to dash off on our next task, with some good food in my belly, rejuvenated and ready to go.
