pesto pizza

Green-sauced Italian pie

Pesto pizza is pizza made with basil pesto sauce instead of traditional tomato sauce, typically topped with mozzarella and often pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, or chicken.

The green base distinguishes it from red-sauced varieties: I'll have the pesto pizza with goat cheese.
