On the back of a prepared pizza crust, I noticed a Greek Pizza.

1 Rustic crust (the name of the prepared crust)
3-4 oz pizza sauce
3 sliced plum tomatoes
small bunch broccoli florets (used a cup)
2 oz Calamata olives
1 oz Feta cheese
1 small bunch fresh spinach
olive oil
minced garlic
3-4 oz grated mozzarella

Spread pizza sauce, a light layer mozzarella, tomatoes,
cauliflower, olives, spinach, crumbled Feta, garlic in that
order. Top with rest of mozzarella. Cook in oven preheated to
450F then set to 425F for 8-12 minutes.

It was quite good and different. There was a URL too.
