    Additional Toppings/seasonings: Salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, dried or fresh herbs like oregano, parsley, basil, or cilantro and Italian seasoning.
    Substitutions : You can also use pepperoni, Italian Sausage, bacon, chicken or ham are great meat toppings. For vegetarian options mushrooms, onions, olives or other favorite pizza toppings. Tomato sauce or pizza sauce also works well.
