Thai Chickpea Pizza

There is nothing better than kicking your weekend off with a pizza, right? Pizza just makes me happy. I love making all different kinds of pizza, too. Tonight it was an old favorite, Thai Chickpea Pizza. The recipe is a hodgepodge of different recipes, but it's largely based on the Simple Thai Pizza from VegWeb.com. A homemade crust is brushed with a delectable ginger-sesame oil mixture, par-baked, and then topped with a homemade peanut-lime sauce, chickpeas, scallions, carrot, pineapple, crushed peanuts, and cilantro. I often add a chopped bell pepper to the mix, too, but I didn't have any tonight (or cilantro, for that matter). No matter - it was still delicious!

Here's the par-baked crust, topped with the peanut-lime sauce and chickpeas:
Then it's covered with shredded carrot and sliced pineapple:
And finally topped with the scallions and peanuts:
It's an awesome blend of flavors and textures!
Question: What's your favorite pizza combo?
