Time-Saver

Short on time? Omit the string cheese, and press the dough just on the bottom of the pizza pan, not over the side.

Serve-With

Serve this special pizza just like pizzerias do by providing containers of grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes for sprinkling on pizza as desired.
