• For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add in some extra vegetables, such as spinach or zucchini.
• You can also use pre-shredded zucchini to save time.
• If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute it with another type of hard cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyere.
• To make this dish ahead of time, assemble it and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
• The remains can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Variations:

• White Pizza: For a white pizza, omit the tomato sauce and use ricotta cheese instead of mozzarella cheese. Top with your favorite toppings, such as grilled chicken, sausage, spinach, or artichoke hearts.
• BBQ Chicken Pizza: To make a BBQ chicken pizza, use BBQ sauce instead of tomato paste. Top with grilled chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, and red onion.
