Pizza Veggie Supreme: the vegetarian pizza for all tastes

This veggie supreme pizza recipe has everything to be the star of Fridays (and every day of the week!). It is a vegetarian pizza full of seasonings and that any palate will fall in love with: we will prepare a very aromatic tomato sauce , which will delight everyone. In the pizza filling, the green pepper, the mushrooms, the cherries and the red onion will be the luxury guests of our supreme veggie pizza, without forgetting the black olives, which add that salty and highlighted touch to each bite.

To get a very crispy crust, we will bake it in the Nordic Ware Naturals® pizza tray which, thanks to its inner air chamber and its material, heats up very quickly and thanks to its perforated surface allows the heat to arrive just as quickly to the dough, giving it that appetizing golden spot.

Whenever I bring you a pizza recipe I love to highlight how easy and quick it is to prepare and how much everyone likes it, whatever the ingredients. At home, he normally plays on Fridays and just by saying: "Let's have pizza for dinner!", the little ones (and also the older ones) applaud with joy, since in addition to being something they love, they volunteer as helpers for the occasion.

One of the great benefits of pizza is that it admits all kinds of ingredients and that is always an advantage. The decision of the flavor of the pizzas is part of the party and it is usually the children who choose what they want with a single condition, that there must always be a veggie. In this way we also include the vegetables and they eat the pizza without question.
