Instructions
Oil two 12-inch pizza pans or large baking sheets. Press the dough into a 12-inch round, or 9-by-13-inch rectangle, on each prepared pan.
Bake until the dough begins to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately high heat.
Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to a small bowl.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same pan.
Add the mushrooms, salt, pepper, and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are golden, about 5 minutes.
Return the zucchini to the pan, add the wine, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and all the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes more.
Spread the vegetable mixture on the partially baked pizza crusts.
Sprinkle each with Swiss cheese and Parmesan and bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.
Wine Recommendation: Nebbiolo is the grape of great Italian wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco. You can enjoy its complex mushroom, spice, rose-petal, and strawberry flavors in a much less expensive Nebbiolo delle Langhe or Nebbiolo d'Alba.
Notes: If you prefer to use store-bought pizza shells, such as Boboli, simply start this recipe with Step
Spread the topping directly onto the shells in Step 4, no prebaking required.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Italian works really well with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. You could try Castello di Ama Chianti Classico San Lorenzo Gran Selezione. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 48 dollars per bottle.

#31 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2018 Pure ruby-red. Fruity nose with cherry and strawberry notes. Some tertiary hints remind leather. Flavors of ripe red fruits, succulent, intriguing and long-lasting. Tannins are ripened and delicate. The aftertaste expresses a lively freshness with notes of dark red fruits, wet ground, and wood.
