Fresh Mozzarella Pizza with Creamy Garlic Sauce and Chicken Sausage
This pizza is insanely delish and I have been making it weekly. You can play around with it a lot. The first picture is made with fresh mozzarella and the second is smoke fresh mozzarella. Both delicious! The homemade pizza crust does need a 24 hour chill but it is worth it. Once made, you get two crusts so you can freeze the second for another day. Try it at least once!

Homemade pizza is better for me. Because the price of pizza in our country is too high. Therefore, making pizza at home is a valuable option.
