We make this a lot at our house. It’s a favorite!

Just add cheese and sauce to a store bought crust. Add some parmesan cheese around the edge of the crust. Top with veggies to spice it up!

Optional recipe:

Margherita Pizza: Olive oil, salt and pepper, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, fresh chopped basil. Add some parmesan cheese around the edge of the crust.
