TO MAKE THE SAUCE:

TO ASSEMBLE THE PIZZA:

Personal Notes:
Probably the most delicious thing I've ever made. Fermenting the dough in the fridge made a WORLD of difference, and the pizza stone got it nice and crispy!

We used pepperoni and sausage with mozzarella cheese as the fillings but feel free to mix and match!
