• I use garlic & onion powder to make it more flavorful & aromatic; it can be used in place of pizza seasoning and tastes the same.

MOZARELLA & PARMESSAN CHEESE:

• Mozzarella & parmesan cheese is added to make this pizza snack. Mozzarella cheese provides the melting characteristic and parmesan cheese provides the sharp & tangy flavor to the dish.
