Absolutely delicious!  I made a homemade gluten free pizza crust and baked it for 10 or 12 minutes before adding the toppings.  I didn't have any fresh tomatoes, so drained a can of Italian diced tomatoes.  I used regular mushrooms instead of portobello.  It was terrific even with my substitutions.  My hubby wants to make this a regular on our menus!

Sooooo good! I did make a couple of what I think are minor changes: used a homemade crust, 1/4 lb. ordinary white mushrooms instead of portobello, red pepper instead of yellow, and as much baby spinach as looked good to me (bit more than packed 3/4 cup). Also, couldn't find fresh basil, so used some sort of bottled fresh chopped basil instead (kinda goopy looking and hard to spread). Personally, I don't think those were major changes, and so that said I rate this one of the best pizzas I've ever tasted! Would also like to try adding sliced zucchini, marinated artichoke hearts, olives............the options are endless!
