💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- For extra crispy crust and bubbly melted cheese, bake for 12 minutes. If you prefer to keep the cheese white, bake for less time (7-10 minutes).
- If you or someone in your family is not a fan of olives, you may cut regular-sized pepperoni or use mini pepperonis to make the faces.
- To store: If you have leftovers, store them sauce-side-up in a sealed airtight container for up to 1 week.
- To reheat: Reheat in the oven at 325°F (163°C) until hot and the cheese is melted.
