    "This recipe was amazing! Also, such an awesome meal prep idea for lunches! I bought pre-packaged crusts for the individual pizzas, but I bet this would be phenomenal with homemade crust. Will definitely be making again!!"

    "Really good. I used mozzarella, Gouda and Parmesan. Also, drizzled blue cheese dressing instead of ranch. My only tip: don’t use olive oil in a 450 degree oven, it’s smoke point is too low. Go with grape seed or avocado oil."

    "One of my favorites from Tasty! I would recommend using Bobby Flays pizza crust recipe - amazing. The idea of cooking it in a cast iron pan is brilliant. Sriracha is a fine substitute if you don’t have Red’s. Also - one tip: buy raw chicken tenders and season them with fajita seasoning a couple hours ahead of time and then sauté the chicken. 5 stars!!!"
