About

You have to love a pizza that only has a few ingredients, but looks so good when it gets to the table. This pizza takes the humblest of vegetables, the zucchini, and makes it the hero. If only all things in life could be this simple. If you can’t get a hold of zucchini flowers, slice a zucchini, broil it briefly with olive oil to soften it, and use it in exactly the same way.
