Serving Tip: Slice with a sharp pizza cutter or a chef’s knife for clean cuts. Serve immediately for the best cheesy pull!

Storage Tip: Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven or air fryer for the crispiest results.

Variations:
Spicy Kick: Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or use spicy pepperoni.

Veggie Boost: Toss on some sliced mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers before baking.

Cheese Lovers: Mix in provolone or parmesan with mozzarella for an extra gooey and flavorful pizza.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use a pre-baked pizza crust instead of raw dough?
A: Yes! Pre-baked crusts work great for quick pizzas — just reduce the baking time slightly since they don’t need to cook as long.

Q: How can I get a crispier crust?
A: Baking on a preheated pizza stone or steel, and making sure your oven is fully hot, helps achieve a beautifully crispy base.

Q: Can I freeze homemade pizza?
A: Absolutely! Bake the pizza, let it cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze. Reheat directly from frozen at 400°F (200°C) until hot.

Q: What’s the best way to prevent soggy pizza?
A: Don’t overload the toppings and make sure your sauce isn’t too watery!
