Store-bought pizza dough vs. homemade pizza dough
There’s no doubt that store-bought pizza dough is more convenient, and you can buy some good, tasty dough these days.
However, we’ll always recommend homemade if possible.
Not only is it fresher, but you can control the ingredients so that it is the perfect crispy crust for you; it’s also SO delicious – you can’t beat it!

This was actually my first time ever having artichoke! My doctor told me to try to work them into my diet, but I was hesitant until I saw this pizza. It was truly delicious!
