"Tastes so much better than frozen or takeaway. Try using finely grated parmesan just as you take it out of the oven so the cheese melts straight away. I find it goes well with a good salad as a starter and ice cream for dessert for a perfect meal in for two." - Bobfood9

    This is so delicious! I have made it twice in the past two months. I can definitely tell the difference in flavor when the ingredients are fresh. Thank you so much!

    Toppings seem to be enough for two pizzas. Simple. Classic. Delicious.
