This recipe was inspired by Heinen’s What’s for Dinner?, a weekly meal guide with simple ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
Thanks to prepared dough and a handful of easy store-bought toppings, this delicious vegetarian pizza is weeknight-friendly and on the table in under 20 minutes. Top it with a simple baby arugula salad (or serve it on the side) to add a bit of seasonal freshness.

Tip
If you have leftover pesto you don’t plan to use within a few days, freeze it in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, pop out the pesto cubes and store them in a freezer bag for up to 6 months. Use them to brighten up a pot of vegetable soup or pasta sauce.
