home made pizza

Pizza is a flat, open-faced baked pie of Italian
origin, consisting of a thin layer of bread dough topped
with spiced tomato sauce and cheese, often garnished
with anchovies, sausage slices, mushrooms, etc.

Are you still buying Pizzas when you can make yours and enjoy with your desired toppings?

The last time I ordered for a pizza, I got it for about N4000 then I had to spend more to order for additional toppings of my choice. I ended up spending more that N6,000 and the taste was not as good as these ones i made by myself.
