Note

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or on a skillet over medium heat to keep the crust crisp.

If wild mushrooms are unavailable, you can substitute with a mix of shiitake and button mushrooms. For a vegan version, ensure your dough contains no dairy and use a vegan mozzarella alternative.

Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth or brush rather than washing them to prevent them from absorbing too much water, which can make the pizza soggy. Make sure to sauté the mushrooms thoroughly to remove excess moisture before adding them to the dough.

Add a drizzle of truffle oil after baking for an extra luxurious flavor. You can also add a layer of tomato sauce under the cheese for a more traditional pizza taste.
