TIP 1: It’s best to bake a pizza on an oven tray that has holes in it or directly onto the oven shelf. This helps crisp up the base as air can circulate around the pizza.
TIP 2: If you make your own pizza dough and have any spare, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate it overnight to use the next day.
