Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Spoon or Spatula For spreading sauce
  • 1 Pizza Cutter For slicing

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 4.0 serving great value pizza crust
  • 4.0 serving reggano pizza sauce 61g
  • 6.3 serving kraft mozzarella with a touch of Philadelphia 28g
  • 1.0 serving s mama cozzi turkey pepperoni 16 slices

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your great value pizza crust packaging, typically around 400-4500F (200-2300C).
  • Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet, or directly onto a preheated pizza stone if using.
  • Evenly spread the reggano pizza sauce over the crust, leaving approximately a 1/2 to 1-inch border for the crust.
  • Generously sprinkle the kraft mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce.
  • Arrange the mama cozzi turkey pepperoni slices evenly across the cheese layer.
  • Carefully transfer the pizza into the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  • Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
  • Using a pizza cutter, slice the pizza into 8 equal servings.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade pizza.

Notes

Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve a crispy crust and evenly melted cheese. For an extra crisp bottom, consider briefly pre-baking the pizza crust for 3-5 minutes before adding sauce and toppings. Distribute the sauce and cheese evenly, leaving a small border for the crust. Avoid overloading with toppings, as this can lead to a soggy pizza. Once baked, allow the pizza to rest for a few minutes before slicing; this helps the cheese set and prevents toppings from sliding off.
