What up !!! So my first job ever was at Pizza Hut. Needless to say I didn’t like pizza anymore after I quit.. Not because of how its prepared. But how its priced. The average pizza takes less than a dollar to make. Yet. We’re paying at least 10 bucks. But. What if you just made your own pizza at home? Would it be better? Cheaper? and Quicker? The answer is yes to all of the above !! Here’s a recipe that the whole family can participate in !! You can choose your own ingredients once you’ve made your dough and sauce. But there’s some default toppings in this recipe for you to try as well. ENJOY !!
