We love topping our pizzas with all the delicious ingredients we can think of and always try new culinary combos. Because it's squash season now, we've used it as the main ingredient for this pizza, along with some fried bacon and a light touch of Cheddar and gorgonzola. Needless to say, the pizza turned out fabulous!
