Tips and Tricks
  • For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5-7 minutes before adding the toppings.
  • Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination. Try adding veggies like mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers for a healthier option.
  • If you’re short on time, try using Trader Joe’s flatbread instead of pizza dough for a quick and easy pizza option.
  • Don’t be afraid to get creative! Add your own special touches to make the pizza your own.
