Who doesn’t love pizza? Pizza is comfort food. It is also super easy to make on your own.
Personal pizzas allow you to add the toppings of your choice: pepperoni, chicken, mushrooms, peppers, pineapple, the possibilities are endless!
What a lot of people do not realize is that pizza can be nutritious. Creating your own homemade pizza is a great way to add extra vegetables to your plate. Pizza can also provide a whole grain through the crust and protein from cheese and other toppings.
