Notes
Serve warm, sliced into generous pieces. Pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or a light white wine. Add extra chili flakes on the side for those who enjoy an extra kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to keep the crust crispy. Consider trying a cauliflower crust for a gluten-free option.
