Prepare the ingredients

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper(s). Quarter lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the shallot(s). Halve the cucumber(s) lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar and honey. Add the sliced cucumber(s). Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally.

Cook the vegetables

In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced pepper(s) in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced shallot(s). Cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat.

Assemble & bake the pizza

Leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, evenly top the baked crust(s) with the red pepper pesto, cooked vegetables, and mozzarella (tearing into pieces before adding). Bake 5 to 9 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes.
