Phyllo Pastry Pizza
Hello there friends, before we get started a BIG WARNING TO ALL ITALIANS!!!! I do not want to get in trouble with anyone telling me this isn't a pizza. I used to make this in my restaurant all the time and it was an absolute hit! You can make this as a single-serve pizza and I must say you will love these little pizzas. So, let's get cooking!
