Shortcut Homemade Pizza Recipe – Homemade pizza is great. Using a store bought crust cuts prep time and you still have a tasty pizza everyone will love. Bake one up soon and enjoy!
I think everyone loves pizza. It’s very easy to order and have one delivered or pick one up on the way home from work. But, not everyone likes the same toppings or any toppings for that matter. We still go out for pizza at least once a month. There are many store bought ready made pizza crusts on the market. Now, once a week, I purchase a different crust and make up a homemade pizza either in individual sizes or one large for my family. If we all decide on the same topping or toppings it’s a large one. If we all want something different, it’s individual crusts. Here’s our basic pizza that happens to be delicious. Everyone loves this one. Simplicity at it’s best.
