Foodview: Asparagus Flatbread Pizza

I love pizza! Nothing beats a good slice of oven toasted bread, a clobbering of flavorful seasonings and veggies, and a blanket of warm cheese melted over top of it all. Most certainly, a movie must happen simultaneously! Pizza + Couch + Movie = Awesome!

Of course, there is that knowledge that major chain pizza's have a tendency of being not good for you.  And oh the dilemma that betides you when you see cheese sizzling on top of a brick-oven toasted crust that has those pockets of air underneath the crunchy and soft dough. It's so delicious looking, but can your waistline take it? Why are the good tasting things commonly the worst things for you? If only there was someone who would provide the world with a healthy and equally delicious version of pizza! Won't somebody save us from this oppression?!

Well, readers, Harvest Moon has answered such a call with their delicious selection of flatbread pizzas. Here is the list of choices:
The BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza,
The Truffled Mushroom Flatbread Pizza.
The Meatball Flatbread Pizza (made with bison meatballs that is),
and The Asparagus Flatbread Pizza, which I have just tried.

Here are my thoughts on the latter, The Asparagus Flatbread Pizza...

The highlight of the pizza, hence the name, is the asparagus on top, softened by the cooking process- but not like the stick of mush an overly-steamed asparagus becomes. Rather, the signature ingredient is warm with a little crunch. In addition to the asparagus are diagonally sliced green onions and chopped chunks of juicy red tomatoes, both putting a punch of fresh flavor into your bite. The veggies were patterned on top of the asparagus pesto spread over the thin, toasted bread. The crust is crisp and slightly darkened, which is how a pizza crust ought to be in my opinion, concluding each piece with a satisfying crunch at the end. And of course, to quite literally top it all off, there is a sprinkling of goat cheese crumbles as well as Parmesan cheese.

It's excellent as a meal for one, perhaps two, but it can also serve a party of people who want just a little something to go with their drinks. Now there's an idea! Or you can get two to go and have awesome pizzas while watching a film. :)
