Hands down my favorite pizza is a Margherita pizza. I adore fresh garden tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil, especially in the summertime. We make flatbreads pizzas on the grill all summer long and this is always my recipe of choice.
We make them into long flatbreads that way we can each personalize our own pizza but we all use the same sauce.

I snagged 2 cans while I was shopping at Walmart the other day, on the canned tomato aisle; one to make these flatbreads and another for spaghetti night.
WHAT IS MARGHERITA PIZZA?
Margherita pizza is made of 6 simple ingredients crust, San Marzano style tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, salt and extra-virgin olive oil.
I also rub garlic over the flatbread crust and add fresh pepper to the cheese, so my version is 7 ingredients but most of them are pantry staples.
