Best Red Pesto Pizza with Peppers
My Rhea is only 6 but she loves peppers – unlike for her age but she gobbles them up just raw chopped up. And of course, all kids love pizza! So she obviously loves this one.
It’s so super easy and super quick and it’s just like a pizza and yet not a pizza.
You must think I’m crazy. But its true. It’s not loaded with cheese so it’s not really too heavy for dinner. I recently made it for some kids over and it was an absolute treat.
I love this dish so much not just because it’s so tasty but it’s so super easy and quick. Haven’t I said that before? I know!! It’s honestly a semi-homemade kinda recipe.

The base for my Pizza
Now usually I made my Pizza base from scratch and you can find that here on my post – Secrets to the best homemade Pizza. But often times I do not have time to go thru the process of proof and prepare. Nowadays my Aadi gets a lot of friends over.. you know kids meet up on the play-ground to play basketball then Aadi will bring them home…mama give something to eat.
This comes in handy. I once had nothing but a savory pastry in the fridge and the kids enjoyed this pesto pizza very much and the spread is Red Pesto out of a jar.
I spread some of my super colorful red, yellow, orange and green peppers, topped it with a little Parmesan and Mozzarella for flavor.
Bake in a hot oven and your DONE!!
