This is such a great time of year to make pizzas! The garden practically begs you to reap, roast and throw the proceeds on a bed of dough. Need some ideas for toppings? One of my favorites is sun dried tomatoes and basil with lots of mozzarella.

Try fresh corn and zucchini on a mozzarella base like the Cheese Board does it, then stud the top with goat cheese and drizzle post baking with lime juice.

or try potato onion.

or a comforting roast eggplant pizza polka dotted with pesto and tomato puree.

Don't they look wonderful after baking? On pizza night I make personal sized extras for my youngest to take to school for lunch. We freeze them, bag them individually, and he pulls one out in the morning. By the time he is ready to eat the pizza is thawed (but have stayed safely cold in the interim). He pops them in the microwave for a zap, but I like my pizzas cold almost as much as I like them hot, so I'd be happy to eat them as is.
