This bruschetta pizza is like no other, its refreshing, flavorful and super quick! Its a quick meal you can make for lunch or serve for dinner, the pesto and Calabrian chili paste really adds a lot of depth and flavor to the traditional bruschetta flavors. I used my moms pizza dough recipe but you can use store bought pizza dough as well.
