Pesto and sun-dried tomatoes go together perfectly in this yummy pizza from A Cozy Kitchen.
Roll out the pizza dough onto a pan. Set aside.
In a food processor, combine basil, garlic, parmesan, pine nuts, and a little salt and pepper. Blend together, and add oil slowly just until the mixture combines. Spread the pesto onto the pizza dough. Top with the cubed mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and try to stop yourself from eating it all in one sitting.

I thought this was pretty good, but my crust definitely didn’t brown enough for me. If I make it again, I’ll probably bump up the temperature about 100 degrees for a crispier crust.
Delicious! Made it as is and the only thing I would change is to add more sun-dried tomatoes next time.

We made this for dinner last week and I LOVED it. I’d never had a pesto pizza before, and this was a great introduction. It was also great, cold, the next day.
I think we used a bit less olive oil and cheese, but overall the recipe was great!

I tried it for Sunday evening dinner. It worked superb.
Absolutely fabulous. My One year old son ate it.
Thanks!

We just had a similar pizza in San Luis Obispo. There were artichokes and feta in addition to the pesto and the tomatoes. I will have to get busy! Thank you for the recipe

I too love pesto pizzas. I think they are the best invention and use of pesto ever. My favorite place to eat in town makes one, but I make it at home when I can. It is close to this one, so I will have to try this one as I love pine nuts and you know the picture sure does look tempting, doesnt it?
Pesto sauce covered with mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers, sautéed spinach and chopped garlic. Topped with goat cheese.
This one is my all time favorite pizza.
