• Use thin slices of deli meat so they layer well.
• Let the oven get fully hot for a crisp crust.
• Pat the cheese dry if it is very moist to avoid a soggy top.

• For a slightly sharper flavor, mix a little grated parmesan with the mozzarella.

variation (if any)

• Add sliced mushrooms or bell peppers before the cheese for veggies.
• Swap mozzarella for a mix of mozzarella and provolone for a different melt.
• Use garlic butter on the crust edge for extra flavor.
• Make it spicy by adding jalapeño slices or red pepper flakes.
