Other ideas

1. Pair with fresh vegetables, such as carrots, sugar snap peas, broccoli, or bell peppers.
2. Add in other pizza flavors, such as onion powder, artichoke hearts, olives, etc.
3. Roast a portabello mushroom, then spread hummus over it and add other pizza toppings, then bake for another 5-10 minutes (I haven’t personally tried this yet)
