Jalapeno Popper Pizza

Best Cheese Pizza - Pizza

I came up with this idea one day while eating a calzone with a side of Jalapeno Poppers. I thought a jalapeno popper pizza would be awesome. I came home and searched online for a recipe like the one I had in mind and found recipes for jalapeno popper pizzas, but none quite like my idea. We tried it this evening and found it to be delicious and EASY!! This would also make a great appetizer sliced into small squares. Can't wait to try this with different meats, like sausage or ham!
