# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The combination of tender steak, sweet peppers, and three cheeses creates layers of flavor that regular pizza just cant match
  • Its faster and easier than driving to Philadelphia but delivers that same indulgent comfort food experience
02 -
  • Overcooking the steak makes it tough, so pull it from the heat as soon as it browns
  • A super hot oven is non negotiable for that crispy crust that holds up under all those toppings
03 -
  • Let the dough come to room temperature for 30 minutes before stretching for easier handling
  • A pizza stone makes a huge difference in crust texture, but a preheated baking sheet works too
