✔️ Expert Tips for Heart-Shaped Pizza

• Cold Dough for Shaping: Use cold dough to easily shape it into a heart without tearing.
• Prick the Dough: Pierce the dough lightly with a fork to avoid air bubbles during baking.
• Layer Cheese First: Spread cheese before toppings to keep the crust from getting soggy.
• Rotate for Even Baking: Rotate the pizza halfway through for a perfectly golden crust.

🕒 Make Ahead and Storage

• Freezer-Friendly: Not recommended.
