I was very excited to find this recipe since my children like the garlic pizza from Papa Murphy's. Unfortunately, all I can see is a picture of the pizza & recipies for other meals. I saw this on a facebook page called Recipies from Heaven. It looks great but I wish I could find the recipe.

If you want people to use your website, you'd best make your recipes easier to find. Never did find the pizza recipe. This means that any recipe you post I'll just blow by to some other website that's more user friendly.

Hi Karen,
I'm not sure what you mean by not being able to find the pizza recipe - the link to that recipe is just below the picture of the pizza.
