This seasonal twist on a classic whitepieis one for the books—since it starts with store-boughtpizza dough, it’s not nearly as complicated to pull off as it seems. We’ll take crushed red pepper flakes on our slice, please.

Aren’t these sugarpumpkinsthe cutest? Each serving is topped with creamy, nut-freekalepesto and spiced pumpkin seeds for texture and flavor.
