Artichoke Pesto Sun Dried Tomato Pizza With Three Cheeses

I used to bartend at romano's macaroni grill. i thought their food was gross and it really is among the unhealthiest food you can find, but i enjoyed their basil pesto chicken pizza, which i ate often. i don't think it's even on the menu anymore, and it's been years since i've had it so i wouldn't call this recipe as an exact copycat... But it's close enough for me. i include artichokes and red pepper flakes, which mac grill did not use. The chicken is pretty much optional- i often make this vegetarian.

Steps

Preheat oven to 450.

Prepare your pizza: top the crust with mozzarella , parmesan , chicken , artichoke hearts , and sun-dried tomatoes , in that order.

Dollop the ricotta cheese all over the pizza.

Sprinkle pizza with red pepper flakes , if using.

Bake for 8-12 minutes , or until cheese is melted and pizza is warm.

Remove pizza from oven and drizzle with little dollops of pesto sauce.

Serve.
