Artichoke Garbanzo Pizza

It sounds a mite crazy, but it was really rather scrumptious.
My friend (and housemate) Laura and I decided to make pizza tonight, after cleaning out our kitchen and rearranging cupboards.
And we decided to use what was on hand to create a masterpiece.
We started with a frozen pizza crust. Not necessarily the best nutrition (it wasn't whole wheat) or flavor, but it was given to our house for free and someone might as well use it.
My barbecue flavored tomato sauce, which I considered an utter failure last summer when I spent all day simmering this sauce that was supposed to be delectable but ended up overly salty and sweet, was the absolute perfect base for a novelty pizza.
Topped with artichoke hearts, a handful of garbanzo beans, thin blobs of ricotta cheese, and a sprinkling of feta, this pizza was delicious. I added a few slices of turkey pepperoni to half of the pizza, which intensified and deepened the flavor.
Just toss it in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees farenheit, and you've got a winner :)
Lesson of the night: be creative with your pizza! Branch out from the classic tomato sauce and mozarella/cheddar cheese, and toss on whatever you have in your fridge.
