Pizza Preparation
There are three Important stages of any pizza preparation.
Crust – Choosing Crust is the very first step to prepare pizza. You can either make your choice of pizza crust at home or can use the ready-made pizza base.
Toppings – Topping also includes choosing your sauce along with other vegetables. I have already share Pizza sauce Recipe here.
Cheese – Pizza is incomplete without cheese. Mozzarella cheese is ideally use to make pizza. However, You can add your favorite type of cheese.

I just saw a famous Naples pizzeria is now shipping their pizzas (frozen) worldwide. How cool is that!? However, like you, we like making pizza at home. I’ve had potatoes on pizza a couple of times, and it’s a fun and surprisingly delicious topping. I love the pesto + potato vibes here! Perfect for a Friday night pizza night!
Ohh thanks for letting me know. I didn’t know that they are shipping world wide. I am glad you liked it.
I actually ordered the pizzas from Naples that DAVID mentioned â as a gift for someone who needed food during quarantine. He said they were fantastic. Me? Iâd rather make my own, and yours sounds really good. The pesto recipe with mint and spinach in addition to the standard basil sounds amazing.
Ohhhhh, Now you are motivating me to order mine one ASAP.
How I crave the fresh, bold taste of pesto! It’s been tough to get fresh basil, for reasons unknown, so I’m thrilled to see you’ve devised a version to use dried instead. I absolutely must try this ASAP!
Thanks a lot dear. Do try and let me know đ
We would have never thought to put potatoes on pizza, but that is a fantastic idea, especially with pesto. Really delicious combo!
Thanks a lot dear đ Try this, I am sure you will love this.
Oh how delicious! I love the history lesson, too. đ My son has been making a huge batch of pesto every week during the quarantine, so I’m ready to go. ~Valentina
Thank you Valentina đ
