Heart Shaped Pizzas

1 can (10 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 ounces)
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper (1/2 small)
2 Tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a large baking sheet lightly with cooking spray. Unroll pizza crust dough on work surface; cut into 4 equal pieces. Place dough pieces 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.

Cut a 1-inch slit in center of one short edge of each dough piece. Shape each into a 6- x 6-inch heart shape. Pinch dough to form rim around edge. Bake crusts until edges are light golden, about 5 minutes.

Remove crusts from oven. Spread pizza sauce on crusts. Top with mushrooms, bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake pizzas until crust edges are golden and cheese is melted, 7-9 minutes longer.

Helpful Tips

When shaping the dough, make a deep, exaggerated "V" in each heart, as the shape will fill in a bit during baking.
