Tips

  • Use whole wheat pizza dough to help make this recipe as healthy as possible. Mozzarella is one of the healthier options when it comes to cheese so try not to substitute for another type of cheese.

    I loved this deep dish pizza. I had made it before but had used ground turkey. This time I used the lean beef and it was absolutely delicious.
