Pro Tips for Success:

  • Switch it up: Try using gluten-free naan for a gluten-free option or swap the pizza sauce for pesto for a twist on flavor.

  • Make ahead: Prep the mini pizzas in advance and store them in the fridge. When it’s time to bake, they’ll be ready to go in the oven for a quick treat.

  • Add some crunch: For extra texture, sprinkle some toasted pine nuts on top before serving.
