Quick and easy! Perfect for a weeknight dinner. My kids loved it!
Had to use regular sugar instead of Splenda. Still delicious! 😍
Regular sugar works just fine! Glad it turned out delicious for you! 🍕❤️
Yumm!! Best pizza ever! Will try with more veggies next time! 🍅
Not sure about the sweetener in pizza? Seems weird. Just use natural ingredients, right?
I don’t like the idea of whole wheat flour for pizza. Should have used white flour for better crust!
I followed the recipe, but mine came out flat. What did I do wrong? 😩
This pizza turned out amazing! I used my own homegrown tomatoes. 🥳 So fresh!
