- Freezing Instructions: Assemble pizza on partially pre-baked crust. Cover well and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake as directed, from frozen, adding a few minutes to the cook time.
- Add French fries: top the pizza with precooked french fries before baking. Don't judge until you've tried it!
- Add hot sauce to sauce: sprinkle hot sauce on the final product or mix some in with the sauce before spreading on the pizza.
