I discovered lavish pizzas recently and we have really enjoyed them. I was interested to see how you baked yours. Basil for me makes a pizza. The thin crust is my favorite kind of pizza and they do make a lovely lunch.

Lavash is so convenient. I was happy to find some sans soy. I used a dark pan that makes the crust crisper. My pizza stone was broken when the painters accidentally broke it. No replacement yet. 🙂
I have used naan for pizzas. I wonder if they are the same as lavish? Will have to look it up. I love how beautiful your pizza looks and using short steps to turn out a nutritious meal is a good thing.
I love naan. Naan is thicker than lavash, at least the naan I have had. It is more a cross between a tortilla and naan as far as thickness. I love their versatility, you can make pizza or a wrap, or like I said pinwheels cut into appetizer size.
I so love making pizza at home, Madonna, and this sure makes for a quick, easy version. We all need those kinds of recipes for a delicious meal and your photo certainly highlights the beauty of this dish.
Thanks Kitty. I don’t find convenience food very often so I was happy to find these. Thanks for the compliment on my photos. I really stress over getting a proper photo.

Yum, would this be appropriate for breakfast? I’m wanting it now and it’s still quite early! Looks delish! I love having quick tricks like this up my sleeve.
Chris, I have been known to eat dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner. I do love Mari’s sauce and I love the lavash. It is so versatile. Thanks for coming by Chris. I so love hearing from you.
Love this idea for a quick and simple pizza, and one which is light enough to enjoy for lunch too. Lavash is actually not that easy to get here, but I’m thinking a tortilla or wrap would make a great substitute.
We just put all our basil plants in the garden for the season on the weekend. Makes me very happy 🙂
Tortillas are a good substitute, but keep an eye out for the lavash. I propagate basil from one plant all season, but when it is over it is over. Next year I will be making and freezing pesto. Thanks for stopping by.
I almost never use lavash, but I should — I like it, a lot. And in this pizza? What a terrific idea. Great dish, and a lighter way to enjoy pizza. Thanks.
John, lavash is great for quick meal. I try to make everything homemade, but sometimes I am not as organized as I want to be. They are a great helper. If you are a deep-dish guy you may not appreciate it, but we have two camps and the thin camp is pretty happy. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your input.
I don’t think there is a person on the planet who doesn’t appreciate a short cut now and again. I probably cook six days out of seven, but on that seventh day I am looking for something easy. What you have done here is sheer brilliance! I cannot wait to try it. I’m from a region where thin crust pizza is the rage, so this greatly appeals. Thanks for the blog visit. Once you brine pork chops you will never make them any other way. 🙂
Pattie, I believe I saw an episode from ATK that said thin crust was created in St. Louis. I love both thick and thin crust, but lavash is a great short cut for wraps and pizzas. Thanks for the tip for the pork chops.

This sounds perfect~I’ve never tried lavash, but I love a super thin crispy crust pizza~ homemade sauce
Between your styling and Mari’s sauce, you’ve hit it out of the ballpark! Thanks for introducing me to lavash–our stores don’t have it, but I’ll check online. Your photos are absolutely mouth-watering!
Monique, I came to blogging late and many have given up on blogging for various reasons. Of all the ones that are no more I miss M. most. She is so talented. Thanks for stopping by I appreciate you.
This looks really great and I have never used lavash so I am excited to try. Pinned it for later. Found your blog on Full plate Thursday link party and started following on Google +.
Thanks for stopping by Cathy. I thought this was a great quick crust. OMG I like Mari’s sauce. In fact everything I have made from her recipes have been outstanding.
I’ve never seen a good homemade thin crust pizza recipe, this one looks perfect! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
I love a thin crust pizza, this looks so good. Hope you are having a great fall day and thanks so much for sharing this awesome post with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

Madonna, your quick thin crust pizza looks and sounds delicious, fast and filling! That tomato sauce, rich and zesty, topped with mozzarella and then fresh basil at the end, is perfect! I’ve never heard of lavash, but I assume it’s a thin, crispy, unleavened bread, similar to Arabic pitas?
Thanks Poppy. Lavash is sort of a cross between a tortilla and flatbread is the best way I can explain. It taste sort of like a pita, it has air pockets, but not as puffy.
I doubt our small-town grocery store has even heard of lavash. But when I find some, I’ll try this for sure. Love thin crust pizza and this looks yummy.
If you get to a larger city, if you can find an International market or a Trader Joes you can find it. You can make your own, but this is a nice convenience food. I use very little pre-made food, but these seem to work well for me. Thank you for visiting.

I just checked out Mari’s sauce recipe and it sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing that,too.

That’s a great idea, Madonna! I have been buying frozen pizza dough, but I love lavash, so I’m pinning this to try.

Thanks Erin. I think you will like it. Be sure not to load it up too heavily or the crust won’t support it.
A thin crispy crust is my favorite for pizza and I never would have thought to use lavash. I know Mari’s sauce is a good one. Have a great weekend.
