I can never get the pesto to sit evenly so I just dump as much cheese over the pie as I can find to cover up any gaps

Same. :/ Ricotta didn't melt as much as I'd hoped either. Had to give it a bit of a smush when I folded the slice.

I tried Ricotta a couple of times, never felt like it had added value personally. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. :-) Wrt pesto, i used to buy the little supermarket jars, but those tend to be very salty and/or overpowering. I now lightely drizzle fresh pesto (also bought) over my tomato base, which is kind of the sweet spot for me.
