FAQs

Can I use fresh garlic instead of roasted garlic?

Fresh garlic has a stronger, sharper flavor and may burn easily in the oven, so roasted garlic is recommended for its sweet, mellow taste and creamy texture.

Is this pizza suitable for a vegetarian diet?

Yes, this recipe uses only vegetarian-friendly ingredients. To make it vegan, substitute the cheeses with plant-based alternatives.
