This was AMAZING! I followed the recipe exactly but I used the Jay's Signature Pizza Crust from this sight, but baked it for 5 minutes before topping. Also, with the crust, I made one big pizza instead of two. This was by far the best pizza I have ever tasted.

Wonderful recipe! I marinated the tomatoes for about an hour. We didn't use fontina or feta - personal preference. I like a straight forward pizza and wanted the tomato/basil to really come through and it did. We used pizza dough for the first time vs. pre-made shells and we can't wait to try it again.

This is amazing! I just used mozzarella, parmesan & feta cheese. The feta really adds great flavor. I had some leftover tomato/garlic marinade so I brushed the crust with it, that gave the crust a nice crunch. I also broiled it for a few seconds at the end. Best homemade pizza I have ever tried!

I made this recipe last night. It was excellent! My tomatoes marinated longer than the recipe recommended. Mine marinated 45 minutes. That was the only change I made.

This pizza is delicious. I've made it several times. I don't use fontina cheese however. I like to use store bought PESTO and olive oil as the base (very flavorful). I also recommend trying jarred sundried tomatoes (in olive oil & spices) instead of roma. And after baking for 10 minutes, I broil on high for a few minutes to make it bubbley. Tastes like the expensive brick oven pizza place, but at home!

This pizza is delicious! I used a trader joe's pizza dough, cooked it for 15 minutes @ 400degrees. Then I added the toppings as outlined in the recipe and baked for 15 minutes @ 450 degrees. Because the cheese still had not yet browned, I put it under the broiler for about 10 minutes until it was a nice golden color and bubbly. I will make this again for sure! Thanks Michelle for the recipe.

This was soooo good. I added Italian sausage meatballs. Yummy! I also used the leftover tomato marinade as a dipping sauce for Italian bread.

This pizza is awesome! I used a Boboli crust, and also I bought feta cheese that was already flavored with tomato & basil, for added flavor. The cheese combo was really good. I used regular salt (but just a little) instead of sea salt. This cooked up really nicely, but it was really oily. I had to sop up all the oil with paper towels. Next time I think I won't put the tomato marinade on the crust. The tomatos are oily enough, even after you squeeze the oil out. The flavor of the pizza was so good....definitely a keeper! My husband and I can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow.

Oh my goodness. This was great. My whole family enjoyed it very much. I had some fresh basil but by the time I went to use it it was no good but dried basil worked in the pinch. The only other thing I didn't have was the fontina so I added shredded romano and it was wonderful. Oh yeah, I also added shredded chicken that I poached with garlic podwer, thyme, and rosemary. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Will def make again.

This pizza was excellent. I made my own crusts with "Jays Signature Pizza Crust" recipe. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. The cheeses, tomato, and basil were the perfect combination. The whole family loved it!

This was amazing! We couldn't stop eating it! I added marinated cooked chicken and used a boboli pizza crust. I also added a little zesty italian seasoning and an extra tablespoon of garlic ( we love garlic) to the tomato mixture. Cooked on a pizza stone with fresh mozerella...yummy! We will eat this as often as my waistline will allow!

This was great - even if I just used the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Don't make the same mistake I did, though, only brush the oil on the crust - I added the leftover on top later and it was too oily after baking. If you have leftover oil, just throw it out...

Loved it! I marinated my tomatoes for at least an hour, wanted to make sure they had a great garlicky taste. Added pepper on top of them, too. Used Mozz, Italian five cheese blend, some grated parm and the feta. I think my oil blend had great flavor since I let is sit for a while, brushed in all over a bobali crust. Smelled great, tasted even better. This hands down will continue to be a pizza I make... Thanks for passing it along!!
