# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready faster than delivery, which means no more waiting around hungry while staring at your phone.
  • The tortilla edges get shatteringly crispy in a way that feels like a tiny culinary victory every single time.
  • You can build it however you want, making it the ultimate canvas for whatever's lurking in your fridge.
02 -
  • The preheated baking sheet is non-negotiable—if you bake directly on a cold sheet, you'll get a soft, disappointing result that tastes more like a quesadilla than a pizza.
  • Don't overload your toppings, even if everything looks delicious; the tortilla only has so much time to crisp, and too much weight will keep it soft in the middle.
03 -
  • For extra crispiness that borders on shatteringly crisp, skip the parchment and place tortillas directly on a preheated oven rack with a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips—just watch closely so the bottom doesn't char.
  • If you're making more than two pizzas, use two baking sheets and swap their positions halfway through baking so everything crisps evenly.
