Notes
Serve hot out of the oven with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad. Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm slices in the oven or microwave. Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust and experiment with different toppings for variety.
