So I've never had lavash, but apparently Trader Joe's has it. Might have to get some of this and make a snacky pizza for my Halloween party on Friday. Here's a recipe, courtesy of Martha Rose Shulman's excellent collection of Recipes for Health in the NYTimes:

Lavash Pizza With Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Goat Cheese
This is my favorite lavash pizza. It’s simple to throw together, and I love the way the flavor of the tomatoes intensifies during their short time in the oven.
1 9-by-12-inch piece of lavash
1/2 cup, tightly packed (2 ounces), grated or shredded fresh mozzarella
2 plum tomatoes (8 to 10 ounces), sliced
1/4 red onion, sliced (optional)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled goat cheese
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees, preferably with a pizza stone in it. Place the lavash on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the lavash, and top with the tomato slices and onion. Arrange the goat cheese over and between the tomato slices. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. Drizzle on the olive oil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the lavash is crisp and dark brown on the edges. Remove from the heat and serve; or allow to cool slightly, then serve. Cut with a pizza wheel or scissors.
Yield: Serves two.
Advance preparation: This pizza takes minutes to throw together and should be assembled just before baking.
