How to make Veggies Pizza with Pineapple
Start by preheating your oven to 475F and make sure that your pizza dough is ready to be rolled out.
1. If making my pizza dough, divide the pizza dough in two. Stretch out one of the balls of dough and place on a greased pizza pan.
2. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the dough. Sprinkle on the grated mozzarella cheese.
3. Place the vegetables, including the pineapple pieces, on top of the shredded cheese. Sprinkle on a little more shredded cheese and the dry oregano on top.
4. Bake the Veggies Pizza with Pineapple in the preheated 475F oven. Cook the pizza for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is a nice golden color. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting into it. Garnish with optional fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor!
Substitutions and Variations
- Cheese - Change out the mozzarella in this recipe for any type of block cheese, like Marble Cheddar, Monterrey Jack, or even Gouda.
- Sauce - Try switching out the tomato sauce for your favorite BBQ sauce or even an alfredo sauce for a completely different flavor profile.
- Meat - Feel free to add meat to this pizza recipe. Add small cubes of ham for the classic Ham and Pineapple taste, or change it up with chopped cooked bacon.
How to store the pizza
Let the Veggies Pizza with Pineapple cool completely before storing to help keep the crust from becoming soggy. Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best flavor and texture. Reheat the pizza in a 375°F (190°C) oven or in a skillet until the crust is crisp and the toppings are warmed through. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can soften the crust and dull the texture of the roasted vegetables and pineapple.
