Notes: If you take the time to sauté the mushrooms before they go on the pizza, the texture may be more pleasing and the flavors intensified. Also, with no sauce, this is dryer than your traditional pizza hut slice. Plain tomato sauce with a little italian seasoning stirred in could be used to add some moisture without many calories and no fat. Also tasty, but changing the calories/fat is some chopped garlic mixed in olive oil brushed over the surface of the dough.
