OMG you guys. This pizza. I can't even.
Summer may be coming to a close, but pizza ain't goin anywhere. This za is off the charts. Wicked good. Freaking tasty. Fantastically foodgasmic. Have I made myself clear?
It's a vegetarian's dream. Even my meat-loving boyfriend devoured it. Bite after bite of melty cheesy goodness and summer's best veggies....pizza pie perfection. I only had one measly piece left for lunch today. Wahhh.
I always look so forward to pizza night. Invite your roomies or your boyfriend/girlfriend and throw a pizza party. Some one can grab the crust and cheese and some one else can grab the yummy toppings. It's a pretty cheap dinner, and let's be real...who doesn't love making homemade pizza?
Whole Foods makes these fabulous pre-made whole wheat pizza crusts that actually don't taste like cardboard. The package comes with two, so it's always fun to make two different pies and see which one's better. With the sweet corn and tangy feta, you can guess which one won this time. It's crazy how much more amazing everything tastes when you use produce that's in season.
I used fresh sweet corn and zucchini from the Garden of Hope, but feel free to use frozen corn if you're in a pinch. The four cloves of garlic really take the flavor up a notch, so don't skimp. You have absolutely no excuse to NOT make this pizza pie right now. I mean I may or may not make it again tomorrow. Is that weird?
Step aside pepperoni....there's a new za in town.

Yummy! That looks so good. I like to cook my pizzas on a stone to get the crust evenly baked and crispy. That’s what makes the perfect pizza.

This looks amazing! I've never tried the premade crusts from Whole Foods, but I always buy my pizza dough from there and it's awesome.
Alexis says
I didn't even know they sell pizza dough! I'm totally trying that next time 🙂

What section are these pizza crusts in!? I make my own usually but sometimes I don't have the patience to let the dough rise.. I just want pizza NOW! My fave pizza combo is pesto, fresh mozz and thinly sliced tomatoes. So perfect
Alexis says
They're in the bread aisle! You have to try them--they make pizza night soooo much easier 🙂 That pesto pizza sounds SO delish!

YUM!! This looks incredible! I made a roasted corn pizza a few weeks ago and need to re-make it with zucchini!
Alexis says
I bet it would be so good with just corn, too! There's just something amazing about summer sweet corn on pizza.

Dana @ Conscious Kitchen Blog says
I'm making homemade pizza tonight! I bought pre-made crust dough from Trader Joe's. It will be my first time using it, I hope it's good. Ever tried it?
Alexis says
Funny story about that Trader Joe's crust...I've bought the whole wheat one a couple times and I don't know what I was doing wrong but I had to cook that thing FOREVER! It seriously took soooo long to be cooked through, that's why I've resorted to using the pre-baked whole-wheat ones from Whole Foods. I hope it worked out better for you!
Dana @ Conscious Kitchen Blog says
I had to stop back and let you know the crust took forever to cook for me too! At first I thought I put too many toppings on, but I guess maybe it was the crust. I finally took the pizza out at about a half hour and just ate it. It tasted good, but definitely could have been cooked longer. I'll have to try the Whole Foods ones next time.
Alexis says
SO funny that you had the same experience! That darn crust....

Ummm, looks amazing. I'm not sure why I have yet to make my own pizza at home yet. Pre-made crusts make it seem a lot less daunting. Veggie pizza is the shiz.
Alexis says
You must try! It's seriously so easy. Agreed--veggie pizza is the shiz.

Sarah @ Chocolate and Pavement says
Umm.. this looks AMAZING. I will definitely be trying this soon. Is it weird that I love playing with toppings and different flavors when I make homemade pizza, but when it comes to ordering out I'm usually just a plain old cheese gal? Thanks for sharing!
Alexis says
Thanks, lady! Not weird at all--I actually don't love veggie pizzas when I'm eating out. I just don't love the typical combo of onion, green peppers and olives. No thanks!!

yum I'm all about the veggie loaded pizzas!!!! Although, I definitely can't say I have had a pizza with corn on it before..that sound interesting!
Have a great weekend!
Alexis says
Come to think of it...I don't know if I had ever had corn on pizza either! I had fresh corn from the garden that I really needed to use up, so this delish pizza was born! Thank goodness for corn 🙂

Veggie-loaded pizzas...now THAT's my jam! And it's even better if that veggie is zucchini :)! On a separate note, love that you shorted pizza to "za"...hahah!
Alexis says
Hahaha my boyfriend always calls pizza "za," and now I do too! Such a cute little name.
