3️⃣ Bake the Pizza

1. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

4️⃣ Garnish & Serve

1. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
2. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and freshness (optional).
3. Slice and serve hot. Enjoy your smoky, cheesy, BBQ-inspired pizza!
