Notes
Serving Tips
- Serve the pizza hot from the oven to enjoy the creamy cheese and crispy crust at their best.
- Pair with a fresh side salad or veggies to balance the richness.
- Cut into small squares or strips for parties or appetizers.
- Add a drizzle of ranch dressing or a sprinkle of chopped green onions for extra flavor.
Storage Tips
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the crust soggy.
- For longer storage, you can freeze the baked pizza for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
