5 Alternative Pizza Base Ideas

Picture this; it’s Friday night and you have a bad craving for pizza. It’s late and now that you’ve mentioned it, the kids want pizza too. At this point, you could just order a boring old greasy pizza from a fast-food restaurant and pay a pretty penny for it – or you could make your own and save money and make it a slightly healthier option. 

But what if you don’t have any pizza bases on hand? Is it a hopeless case? No, it sure isn’t! I’m here today to show you five delicious alternatives to the classic pizza base for those times that you just gotta have a slice.
