  This pizza was the best to make. The tomato sauce was so tasty i had some left remaining and used it the next day for a pasta sauce. I do recommend this :)

  This is delicious, but only served 4 of us, and my dad asked for more! The tomato sauce is gorgeous and would also make a good pasta sauce!

  Very yummy, I used mozzarella instead of ricotta as I don't like ricotta but it was really good.

  this was really easy and tasty too. i only made half the sauce (there was still plenty to cover) and added some garlic because we're garlic fiends and it seemed wrong not to. i also used mozzarella rather than ricotta. there's no way this recipe would feed six; there's only two of us and only one slice remained. we are incredibly greedy though...

  This was really nice, and easy to make. The bread base made a really nice change from normal pizza bases. I like the idea of trying it with mozzarella next time!!!

  I have made this loads of times. Everyone I have made it for is impressed and want more! Easy to make! I make double the dough and freeze one portion. Seems easier to roll after freezing and defrosts very quickly. Then I make double to topping and freeze half too. Makes it so quick to make at short notice then. I then use the left over sauce for pasta dishes the next day. :-)

  I used soft cheese instead of ricotta and it was delicious. Will make double like Batcatz suggested next time

  I made this last night to have for lunches this week and I love it! I used it as a chance to clear out the fridge and just chucked in all the veg I had including mushrooms and sweetcorn and green pepper! Also used passatta and garlic instead of chopped toms because I didnt have any. Really lovely recipe and am definately going to make again and experiment with toppings! I also used low fat mozzerella yum yum.

  Kind of 80s and whole-foody, but really nice! I made two small pizzas (in round cake tins) and froze the spare dough and topping. Don't worry if you don't have a bread mix. I just used 500g bread flour, 1tsp instant dried yeast, 1tsp sugar and 1tsp salt, and about 300ml water to make the dough. After putting the tomato topping on the base, I also added some spinach (that I'd fried briefly to wilt it first), then the ricotta. I sprinkled on parmesan too. Spinach and ricotta are classic together, and including greens on the pizza meant I didn't bother serving any salad with it.

  Quite nice but a bit bland. Think I'd try this with feta instead of ricotta if I made it again.

  I found the taste a bit bland and the tomato sauce was very runny (had to cook it for more than 10 minutes) My boyfriend was not too keen, he did not like the filling and only ate the crust!
