Notes

• Sauté the onions and peppers for 5 minutes before baking for a sweeter, softer topping.
• Add mushrooms, olives, or spinach for extra vegetable flavor.
• Fresh mozzarella creates a creamier texture, while low-moisture mozzarella gives a crispier finish.
• Leftover pizza can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
