Notes
The secret to a perfect veggie pizza lies in the freshness of its ingredients. Ensure your vegetables are crisp and vibrant for the best flavor. A drizzle of chili oil can add a spicy kick if you fancy some heat. While this pizza stands strong on its own, a fresh garden salad or garlic bread makes a great side. For an even richer taste, consider adding dollops of ricotta cheese or sprinkling some feta before baking.
