Side salad with the same pizza.

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) for one 12–14 inch pizza
  • 1/2–3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1–2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • Toppings of choice (pepperoni, veg, etc.)
  • Olive oil, salt, optional herbs

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to the temperature your dough package or recipe recommends (often 450–500°F / 230–260°C).
  2. Stretch dough, add sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  3. Bake until crust is browned and cheese is melted, usually 10–15 minutes.
  4. Slice and serve your usual number of pieces.

Better steps keep the same dish — one useful change, not a different recipe.
