I made this and LOVED it. I used less  mozzarella, bcz don’t like too much cheese in pizza. The base I made was thin crust,  that's what my husband and I like. Crust was crispy, pizza was simple and amazingly good! I've been trying for a while to perfect my homemade pizza and I think now I've done it! This pizza will make an amazing treat to make for a party and everyone is sure to love you! The process is very simple...
