Flour pizza stone or cookie sheet.  Roll out pizza dough into 12” pizza.  Poke dough with fork all over to reduce chances of dough pillowing up in the oven.  Bake pizza dough in oven for 8-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix pizza sauce and pesto together.  Remove pizza dough from oven and cover with pesto sauce mixture sprinkling Sriracha lightly around the pizza.  Sprinkle vegetables onto pizza covering evenly, sprinkle more sriracha, sprinkle with cheese of desired amount.

Bake in oven for another 10-15 minutes checking for desired amount of cheese browning.
