The grilled vegetable pizza with pesto was born out of a desire for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I had some leftover grilled vegetables in the fridge, and I was looking for a way to use them up. I also had some pesto on hand, and I thought it would be a great way to add flavor to the pizza. The result was a delicious and satisfying dish that the whole family loved.
