PIZZA PIZZA

The only frozen item on the kitchen table menu. We feel deprived if we don't have at least 2 of these freshly made beauties in our freezer at any time so I'm always making them. This is a fresh dough crust that is brilliantly crispy if baked on your screaming hot stone in the oven. These are also pretty good just slid onto your oven rack and baked.

4, 12” Naked Pizzas with with fresh tomato sauce and cheese. Have a bunch of different toppings on hand and throw your own pizza party!
