(334) 392-0550 Marie This recipe is easier than it may look, I added lots of pictures to show different steps of the process. So you can see how mine comes out all the way! You will notice our adult pizza is much browner than the kids pizza, we like it like that. So I would only cook for 15 minutes. We cooked our adult pizza for 20 minutes, kids pizza for 15 in a 475 preheated oven.
