• Feel free to customize the toppings by adding ingredients like olives, red onions, or feta cheese.
• If you prefer a thicker crust, you can use store-bought pizza dough or make your own dough from scratch.
• To make the pizza dough ahead of time, you can prepare it the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator overnight.
