This pizza was SO good. I made some adjustments and the results were awesome. When making pizza at home I use Trader Joes Lavosh Wrap Bread. It comes in rectangular sheets- I lay two flat on a baking sheet, one on top of the other and add the sauce and toppings right to it. This skips a step and the pizza comes out light and crispy. If you prefer a softer/thicker crust I recommend using dough. In the Asian food section of the grocery store I found Plum Sauce. It added the perfect amount of sweetness to counteract the spicy chicken marinade. I used Tapatio since it's my standby hot sauce, but I think I'd use Sriracha next time - it would probably mix a little better with the Asian flavors of the dish. When baking the crust, I added the sauce, cheese and sliced red peppers as instructed. Since the Lavosh Bread is already cooked it doesnt need to stay in the oven as long - only until the cheese is melted and a bit browned. Six minutes at 425 was perfect.
The results were amazing.
