Veggie Pizza

Roasted red peppers, caramelized red onion, goat cheese and fresh basil made for a wonderful pizza last night. Someone (I won't name names) was originally upset that I didn't not include sausage on the pizza. Four slices later he exclaimed, "this vegetarian pizza is awesome". Although I think sausage would been a perfect meat addition to these flavors, the veggie only combination felt healthy and tasted perfect.
