There's many different ways to make a pizza!  Use your imagination and you can't go wrong. 

2 Recipes below! Here are my Grilled Pizza from the Garden with two different bases.

1 pizza crust -- Boboli Thin Crust suggested, Or make your own
1 red pepper -- quartered
1 zucchini -- sliced lengthwise
1 tomato -- sliced thin
4 large basil leaves -- roughly chopped
1 tablespoon chives -- chopped
1 tablespoon pine nuts

1/4 cup Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette 1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Grill red pepper until charred, then place in plastic bag for about 5 minutes. Grill zucchini about 2 minutes on each side, set aside on cutting board. Remove the peel of the red pepper and slice both the peppers and zucchini.

Add the Herbed Balsamic Vinaigrette to the pizza crust, then add, red pepper, zucchini, tomato, basil, chives, pine nuts, mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Grill on medium heat until cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
