The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.67 star rating.

I've made these a few times so far and here is what I've learned. If desired, you can prep for this dish the night before by doing your chopping and then just putting the peppers & tomatoes right back into their jars (with their original liquid). Look for crumbled goat cheese. The one I used is made by Saladena and includes thyme, basil, and red sweet pepper - perfect for this dish!). Do NOT throw all the ingredients together in a food processor as another reviewer suggested. It should look like the recipe photo when you're done and not a paste/spread. If you can find them at your store - look for Vlasic Roasted Sweet Red Pepper strips and Orchard Valley Harvest Sun Dried California Tomatoes (Julienne cut in oil). These are both already somewhat pre-cut for you so half of the chopping is already done. The peppers & tomatoes I was able to get at Super Walmart, the cheese was found at Albertson's/Jewel. This is a FABulous appetizer and makes such a beautiful presentation! It is so nice to pair with some red wine - particularily if you're serving an Italian themed meal (but certainly tasty even if you're not). I will definitely plan on keep this recipe on my appetizer rotation for a long time to come.

Loved these pizzas. The mixture of flavors was wonderful. I didn't have pita bread so I used flour tortillas. Wasn't crazy about that part, but I will experiment with different "crusts".

Really terrific -- impressive and delicious! I used mini-pitas (whole) to make hors d'oeuvres, and served the balsamic on the side. I used pre-sliced roasted red pepper and sundried tomatoes, so I could just snip the slices with kitchen scissors to get a small-dice with no mess. Used arugula as I didn't have basil (I think both are good matches), and added bits of salami for the meat-eaters. To crumble the goat cheese, make sure it's nice and chilled (a few hours in the fridge, or 30 mins in the freezer should do). Put it in a bowl, and just grab two forks and start poking at the cheese with the tines. It'll crumble nicely... if it starts to get mushy, pop it back in the fridge to chill.

This was my first time using goat cheese, so I don't know if it was me or the recipe but this just did not turn out how I had hoped. The cheese dried out instead of staying creamy or melting.

Excellent! I omitted the roasted red peppers b/c I don't like the jarred slimy peppers. A super easy and delicious recipe!

Delicious! I can't wait to make them again. The only change I made was I added olives.

This is a truly versitile recipe...it is easy enough for casual or last minute get togethers yet it will hold its own at more formal events. I recommend reducing a good balsamic vinegar by about 2/3 and then drizzling it on top of pizzas...it adds depth to the flavor!

I may never go back to mozzarella cheese again on my homemade pizza! Costco sells the most fabulous rosemary-encrusted goat cheese that is actually hard enough to be sliced with a cheese slicer. Some fresh basil, fresh tomatoes, garlic, and the rosemary-goat cheese and viola! The most delicious pizza you have ever had! Who would have thought goat cheese on a pizza? Great recipe, SmithClan!

This pizza looked and tasted fantastic! Very gourmet flavor and appearance yet so easy to prepare. The only change I made was by using refrigerated pizza dough instead of the pitas. Great appetizer or main dish.

Really good. I scaled the recipe and made only two pizzas (one whole pita). I also added some canned, sliced mushrooms. I tried it both with and without the balsamic vinegar... I liked it better with.

Superb! Everyone loved these and they were gone in no time. I used fresh peppers (red, yellow and orange) and roasted them myself on the BBQ, and added caramelized onions. It made for a very pretty colour mixture and delicious flavour.
