Very Veggie Pizza

My absolute favorite pizza (besides anywhere in New York...) is Donato's Veggie Lovers. There isn't a Donato's here in Bloomington, so I have to re-create it myself. I love a nice thin crust, and the whole wheat mix makes it healthier. I never used canned mushrooms - except on pizza! The mushrooms stay really moist and it's the way they do it at Donato's!
