The most important thing is that such pizza turns out tastier than ordered, because you can put your favorite ingredients in it.

Homemade pizza with ham, smoked sausage and bell pepper - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use crushed tomatoes, marinara sauce, or even pesto for a different flavor profile. If using crushed tomatoes, simmer them first to reduce excess moisture.
Leftover pizza stays fresh in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 5-10 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat for a crispier crust.
Skip the ham and smoked sausage, and replace them with veggies like mushrooms, olives, spinach, or artichokes. Add extra cheese or a plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh.
Dried basil (use 1/3 the amount of fresh) works in the sauce. For garnish, try fresh parsley, arugula, or a sprinkle of oregano for a similar herby freshness.
Yes! Assemble the pizza (unbaked), wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Lightly flour the parchment paper or drizzle a bit of olive oil under the dough before stretching it. This ensures easy transfer after baking.
Try a cauliflower crust, almond flour crust, or a sliced zucchini/eggplant base. Adjust baking time as needed for thinner alternatives.
Yes, but freshly grated cheese melts better. If using pre-shredded, opt for a high-quality blend without anti-caking additives for best results.
A simple green salad, garlic knots, or roasted vegetables complement it well. For drinks, try iced tea, light beer, or a crisp white wine.
