Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Particularly the mozzarella cheese and tomatoes, for the best flavor.
  • Make your own pizza dough: It's not as hard as you think, and it makes a big difference in the taste of the pizza.
  • Let the dough rise properly: This will help to develop the flavor and texture of the crust.
  • Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible: This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the pizza from sticking.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
