Serving: Serve the pizza hot from the oven with a side of fresh salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. It’s perfect for sharing with family and friends or enjoying on your own.
Storage: Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat slices in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes for the best texture. You can also freeze the pizza (before baking) for up to 2 months. Just thaw and bake when ready to enjoy!
Variants

Gluten-Free Pizza: Substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour or a pre-made gluten-free pizza dough for a gluten-free version.
Thin-Crust Pizza: Roll the dough thinner for a crispy, cracker-like crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 475°F (245°C).
White Pizza: Skip the tomato sauce and use a ricotta cheese mixture (ricotta, garlic, and herbs) as the base. Top with mozzarella and your choice of toppings.
FAQ
Q: Can I use store-bought pizza dough?
A: Yes, you can substitute store-bought dough for convenience. Just be sure to roll it out to your desired thickness and follow the rest of the steps for assembling and baking the pizza.

Q: How do I make the pizza crust crispy?
A: For a crispy crust, ensure your oven is fully preheated to 475°F (245°C) before baking. You can also preheat a pizza stone for an even crispier bottom crust.

Q: Can I make the pizza dough in advance?
A: Yes, you can make the dough up to 24 hours in advance. After kneading, place it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Allow it to come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
