Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF to maintain crispiness.
Substitutions: Use frozen pizza dough for convenience. Swap fresh sausage with pre-cooked pepperoni or bacon bits. Vegetarians can omit meat and add extra vegetables like spinach or zucchini.
Tips: For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings. Drain marinated artichoke hearts well to prevent soggy pizza.
Variations: Add black olives or jalapeños for extra flavor. Try different cheese blends like provolone or gouda.
