Sun-dried tomato dressing is a perfect complement to the peppers, cheese and pepperoni in this fun recipe I call "Pizzalicious Salad." For a change of pace, I sometimes omit the sun-dried tomato dressing and drizzle the mozzarella cubes with olive oil. -Lisa DeMarsh, Mount Solon, Virginia

Tips:

Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Choose fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and a high-quality pepperoni substitute.
Make your own pizza dough: While store-bought pizza dough can be convenient, making your own dough is not difficult and will result in a much tastier pizza. There are many recipes available online or in cookbooks.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly. Use a moderate amount of toppings, and be sure to spread them out evenly.
Bake the pizza at a high temperature: A high oven temperature will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy. Bake the pizza according to the recipe instructions, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing: This will help to prevent the cheese from sticking to the knife and tearing the pizza.
