Tips for the Perfect Pepperoni Pizza Every Time
Get the crust right
Properly proof your dough. Roll it thin for a crispy crust and bake between 450°F–500°F (230°C–260°C) for best results.
Bake smart
Use a preheated pizza stone if you have one. Bake on the lowest rack for an evenly cooked crust.
Use high-quality toppings
Premium mozzarella and pepperoni like those offered by Baqa Foods create a truly professional finish.
Storing & reheating leftovers
Store slices in an airtight container. Reheat in an oven or skillet to restore crispiness.
