Expert Tips
- Ground Beef – You could also use lean ground beef to reduce the amount of excess fat and ensure a crispier pizza crust.
- Special Sauce – If you prefer a less sweet sauce, mix the Thousand Island dressing with a bit of tomato sauce or paste to balance the flavors.
- Pizza Stone – For a crispier crust, we recommend placing your pizza stone in the oven while it is preheating. Then carefully remove the pizza stone and add pizza and bake. This gives the pizza the taste of a pizza oven.
How to Know When Pizza is Done Cooking
Baking time will vary depending on your oven. We baked pizza for about 15 minutes and the pizza was golden brown and cheese was melted.
We always make sure to center of the pizza is hot and cheese is melted before removing from the oven.

- Panera Bread Tomato Soup Recipe
I even like to have bowls of our favorite burger toppings so every can add their favorites to their slice. These options include dill pickle, relish, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and American cheese slices.
Frequently Asked Questions
We like to slice the leftover pizza to easily store in an airtight container. The leftovers will last about 3-4 days. We think it is best to remove the lettuce and pickles before storing.
Reheat the leftovers in the oven without the lettuce and pickles. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and reheat for about 10 minutes. You can even reheat in the air fryer.
