Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet preheated to 425°F (220°C).
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
