Isn't this pizza pretty?? Those bright red and green colors are just calling my name! Pizza is always a good idea and this fresh margherita pizza makes for the perfect summer meal. Especially when you can use your own fresh tomatoes and basil from your garden!

This comes together in no time and the results are perfection! 

And if you want a little extra flavor, be sure to drizzle on some balsamic glaze! It makes everything better.
