    Absolutely! Use a store-bought or homemade gluten-free crust to accommodate dietary needs.
  3. Can I add more cheese?
    Yes, feel free to load on extra cheese for an even cheesier pizza experience!
  4. Can I use different toppings instead of pepperoni?
    Yes, customize the pizza with your favorite toppings such as sausage, veggies, or ham.
  5. How do I store leftovers?
    Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best results.
