PIZZA DELUXE

Pizza Deluxe image

I made this with Pizza Sauce and Thick Crust Pizza Dough--both very easy and delicious. Why buy pizza that isn't even that good when you can make your own at home for less money and it tastes better? Recipe from The Pillsbury Cookbook. Cooking and preparation time exclude time to rise. Feel free to substitute or omit any ingredients. Enjoy!
