Well, I have to say this looks amazing. I have a tough time stretching pizza dough, but might be worth it to try to get this result:)
Definitely worth it Seana! So good! 🙂
I’m a pizza snob too – homemade tastes sooo much better! I have to try this over the Summer when we have fresh tomatoes!
This is my kind of pizza Sheryl!
