Notes
Consider adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if you fancy a little extra heat. A side of guacamole or a fresh avocado salad can be a delightful accompaniment, enhancing the freshness of the meal. For those who enjoy a crispy crust, placing the pizza directly on the oven rack can do the trick. And, of course, pair it with an iced tea or a sparkling lemonade to complete the festive vibe. Enjoy!
