Pizza Topping Ideas
There are so many toppings that you can have on this delicious pizza base. Below are a couple of my favorite ideas.
In the photos, I use a combination of caramelized onion, mozzarella cheese, and some fried ground beef. It’s absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend giving it a try.
A pesto pizza is simple but very flavorsome. You will need to spread the base with some basil pesto and sprinkle some mozzarella cheese, and sliced tomatoes over the top.
For a truly delicious pizza, I recommend spreading the base with a gluten-free BBQ sauce. Next, top it with pulled pork, mozzarella cheese, bacon, and some red onion. It’s a truly delicious pizza topping.
If you have some sloppy joes leftover, then it will work great as a pizza topping. Simply spread over the pizza base and top it with a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
There are many other toppings that you can do, so if you have any suggestions, be sure to let us know.
