Notes
Please don't use a prepared crust! If you can't make your dough, there are some good prepared ones in the supermarkets. Try this easy pizza dough recipe. Most markets carry uncooked pizza dough, and some pizzerias sell their dough.
As I mentioned in the post, a commercially prepared pesto is fine. There are some really good ones out there including Alessi and DeLallo. Read the label!
