Can I substitute the toppings with my own preferences?

Absolutely! Customizing the toppings is one of the joys of making homemade pizza. Feel free to experiment with your favorite ingredients and combinations.

Do I need to make the dough from scratch?

You can either make the dough from scratch using a recipe like the one provided on the Blackstone website or opt for pre-made dough from your local grocery store for convenience.

What other seasonings can I use?

There are endless possibilities when it comes to seasonings for pizza. You can try Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or even fresh herbs like basil and oregano.

Can I achieve a crispy crust without a pizza oven?

Yes, you can! Preheating your baking sheet or pizza stone in a regular oven at a high temperature can help achieve a crispy crust. You can also try using a pizza steel or a cast iron skillet as alternative options.
