Notes
Tips: For a crispier crust, toast the English muffins a bit longer before adding toppings.
Substitutions: Use gluten‑free English muffins for a gluten‑free version, or swap cheese for dairy‑free shredded cheese.
Storage: Leftover pizza can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispness.
Make‑ahead: Prep the sauce and chop vegetables ahead of time and store them separately.
