    Very good! If you want something a little lower carb, I would recommend using La Tortilla Factory tortillas as the base instead. They only have 80 calories and tons of fiber! - 4/3/08

    I wasn't sure this would be very good, but it was amazing! My husband loved it!! The bean paste is not bland at all. I think it just depends on how big your garlic are. I had two really big ones and it almost gave it too much of a kick. Next time I am going to try to use smaller garlics. - 11/8/08

    I thought it was a little bland, like the bean mixture needed something else. I ended up putting a tablespoon of spaghetti sauce, which was ok, but I'm thinking of trying to mix in some pesto with the bean mixture next time. Otherwise, pretty good. - 3/21/07

    This was delicious! The bean sauce is so much better than the regular pizza sauce! I added mushrooms and green pepper as well. What a great way to get veggies! - 10/29/07
