Pizza Place baking stone in oven, if using.

Substitutions:
You can use store-bought pizza dough instead of homemade, but we can’t guarantee cooking times.
Store-bought sun-dried tomato pesto can be used for the sauce.
To make this recipe vegan, you can use your favorite vegan cheeses and vegan pesto!
The amounts on the toppings are to our taste. You can adjust as needed!
Fresh mozzarella can be used in place of shredded.
Expert Tips:
We like to soak the sliced eggplant in ice water for a few minutes to remove the bitterness. This is an optional step, but we highly recommend it!
Be sure to preheat your baking stone for at least an hour before baking the pizza!
If not using a baking stone, you can use a sheet pan or pizza pan.
Make sure to flour your parchment paper and your hands before handling the pizza dough!
You will need tomato pesto for this recipe, not tomato sauce.
Each oven bakes differently. Keep an eye on the pizza while it's baking!
