Pizza Party

I’m not a person for whom the pizza tolls, but that doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally like the flavor of pizza sauce, veggies and melty cheese all in one bite. The problem here is the animal fat and the glutinous crust. So I came up with this easy and delicious pizza alternative that is truly satisfying when you get a hankering for a slice or a whole pie! I added black olives after I took this pic which gave each bite a nice salty finish. Enjoy the party!
