All food was prepared in a special method for reheating so it’s super fresh and delicious tastings the next day. Make sure to preheat your oven and let food rest 5-10 minutes on the counter to take the refrigerator chill out before you continue to reheat. Room temperature foods heat more evenly. Times may vary by the size of your pan. Use these instructions as a guide. To keep moisture in food remember a lower temp oven and longer reheat time is always better than a hotter oven for less time.

Begin to stretch - punch down, use a rolling pin, pull edges with both hands gently, turning often, until your pie is either 8-10” (small) or 16-18” (large). Have fun! It takes years to make a perfect circle! GF dough is parbaked (skip this step). ● Place stretched dough (or par baked GF) on the pan and add your toppings. Joe Bologna recommends putting the sauce first, then 80% of the cheese, next the toppings, and finish with more cheese, but you can be creative! ● Bake at 450ºF, check after 10 minutes, may want to turn once and check the bottom using a spatula to lift a corner making sure it doesn’t underbake or overbake. Check again after 5 minutes. Cooking time varies: Small 12-18 minutes, GF 5-10 minutes, Large 15-25 minutes ● Remove from the oven, let pizza cool for a few minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
