Buy or make your pizza crust. (Here's a good looking one with lots of pictures: http://inspiredrd.com/2010/09/cooking-with-kids-pizza-night.html). I got this one at Trader Joe's to make it easy on myself.
Spread bread/crust with tomato sauce. Add your toppings. Eat without cooking if you don't want to cook the nutrition out of your veggies. Or place in oven on 425 for 8-10 minutes.
Some of my favorite toppings:
Mushrooms (marinated in Tamari & olive oil for 15 minutes)
Zucchini (marinated in Tamari & olive oil for 15 minutes)
Tomatoes
Bell peppers
Seasonings (I like lots of basil)
Hawaiian:
Pineapple tidbits
Tomato
Basil
Add cheese for those in the family who can't live without it. Encourage everyone to try it uncooked (except the crust will be cooked, although you could make a raw crust which I will post about once I have tried it). But it's not the end of the world to cook your veggies. Especially if you eat lots of raw fruits and veggies normally. :)
And another thing: cheese-less pizza isn't as bad as I always imagined. If you can forget about the fact that you're missing the cheese, and instead think of it as a new type of dish (veggies with marinara sauce and bread) it will be so yummy!
Make sure to have a big plate of leafy greens (spinach, etc) first before you fill up on the pizza!
Mmm looks beautiful and tasty!!
