Pesto & Goat Cheese Pizza

Pesto & goat cheese – always a crowd favorite. The bright pesto, topped with tangy, creamy goat cheese gets a pop of sweet, heat with not one, but two kinds of hot honey. Using pre-made thin, pizza crusts come in handy to make this a quick any night meal. Special thanks to Shannon Morgan of @biggreeneggfoodie for the amazing recipe!
