The Three Cheese Garden Pizza is fairly easy and can be done with the new consultant kit. I actually had one host that substituted some of the veggies & put pepperoni on top! Same concept and super easy. 
You can even get the Pillsbury pizza crust, unroll it and have it cooking while you are preparing the toppings. Then you are basically just heating the toppings, they are already cooked.
