Author Notes: The peanut sauce from this California style pizza is what makes it. With this pizza, or any pizza, feel free to use more or less of the sauce or toppings according to your taste. This pizza tastes great as a vegetarian entreé, but it's also great with chicken or shrimp. Have fun. It's your pizza!

I didn't add any meat but used crumbled firm tofu to add a boost of protein and soy nutrients.  The recipe still tasted great.
