You get all the crispy pizza satisfaction without the heavy carb coma that usually follows
The protein content is insane, making it actually filling instead of just craving inducing
Even my flour loving friends admit they'd choose this over delivery on busy weeknights

Blotting the crust after the first bake is non negotiable, moisture is the enemy of crispy
Letting the pizza rest before slicing seems unnecessary but prevents all your toppings from sliding off

03 -

Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to your sauce for an extra flavor layer that ties everything together
Pre cook vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to prevent releasing water onto your beautiful crust
