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?
