Made this for dinner the other night, and it was great. Three words I never thought I would hear my wife say: "I like chard."
I used a homemade whole wheat pizza crust, which paired nicely. I also threw in some Kalamata olives that I found in the fridge. I didn't have any Worcestershire sauce on hand (vegi household) so I used some Tamari soysauce. Worked great.
Thanks for an awesome recipe
