Garlic & Fennel Mushroom Pizza is the perfect combination for a crowd pleasing simple pizza!
This is basically like heaven on pizza if you ask me. Sweet fennel, caramelized mushrooms a fresh pop of spinach kinda of tastes like a party in my mouth.
Are you over my fennel obsession yet? No? Oh good, me neither. Yes? Ok, sorry not sorry ?.
I find myself wanting/needed homemade pizza about once a month. Maybe more, and I must admit this is one of my faves. You can find all my pizza recipes here!

How come your photos show red blobs of sauce when you don’t mention it in your recipe?
Life is but a Dish
There are no red blobs of sauce. I think maybe you’re referring to the bubbles on the crust?
