Pan-Baked Pizza with Vodka Sauce
Pan-Baked Pizza with Vodka Sauce marries a crisp, golden crust with a creamy, tomato-forward vodka sauce that’s smooth and lightly tangy. Fresh mozzarella melts into luscious pools, Parmesan adds a salty finish, and bursts of grape tomato and basil keep each bite bright. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a casual weekend gathering.
