1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

TO MAKE THE PESTO: In a food processor finely chop the arugula, garlic and pine nuts. Add the pepper. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the cheese.

TO MAKE THE TOPPING: Grill the bell peppers over Direct Medium heat until evenly charred on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the peppers from the grill and place in a paper bag close tightly. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes to steam off the skins. Remove the peppers from the bag and peel away the charred skins. Cut off the tops and remove the seeds. Cut each pepper into thin strips.

Brush or spray both sides of the mushroom caps with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill over Direct Medium heat until tender, 8 to 10 minutes, turning and basting with the oil as needed to keep them moist. Remove from the grill and cut into 1/2 inch slices.

Grill one side of the pizza crusts over Direct Medium heat until toasted, about 1 to 3 minutes. Spread the pesto on the toasted side of the crusts. Distribute the mushrooms and peppers on top.

Grill the pizza over Direct Medium heat until the crusts are crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the grill. Top with the arugula, tomato, cheese, and lemon juice. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
