...when I read this recipe:

ASPARAGUS AND GOAT CHEESE TART

Servings: 4

Start to finish: 55 minutes

6 ounces thin asparagus, trimmed and cut 1/4 inch thick on bias (1 cup)

2 scallions, sliced thin

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped pitted kalamata olives

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 ounces (1 cup) goat cheese, softened

1 (9 1/2-by-9 inch) sheet puff pastry, thawed

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 425 F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine asparagus, scallions, 1 tablespoon oil, olives, garlic, zest, salt, and pepper in bowl. In separate bowl, mix 3/4 cup goat cheese and 1 tablespoon oil until smooth; set aside.

Unfold pastry onto lightly floured counter and roll into 10 inch square; transfer to prepared sheet. Lightly brush outer 1/2 inch of pastry square with water to create border, then fold border toward center, pressing gently to seal.

Spread goat cheese mixture in even layer over center of pastry, avoiding folded border. Scatter asparagus mixture over goat cheese, then crumble remaining 1/4 cup goat cheese over top of asparagus mixture.

Bake until pastry is puffed and golden and asparagus is crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, cut into 4 equal pieces, and serve.

I think it would be better with a hand made pizza crust and call it pizza.

I've seen some "health food" frozen pizzas in various markets that look similar to OP photo!  Of course, regular pizza has been a big deal at Carb Loading Parties for decades when marathon runners are trying to store extra energy from healthy food!

We can't eat pizza EVERY DAY!  Mix in different dough and call it a tart or a flatbread or a pita.  Don't be the crazy person who only eats pizza (no matter how tempting or awesome that might be).
