TIPS AND TRICKS
Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheese if you can- it will melt better. If not, preshredded cheese will work as well!
Customize: Add your favorite toppings to make it customizable to your favorite pizza!
Pizza Sauce: I used Rao's marinara for this dish, however you can use any alternative marinara sauce that is more budget-friendly.
Cooking Tips: If your cheese isn't completely melted on top, I like to broil my dip on low for 1-3 minutes.
