Notes
Note on Pizza Dough: If you find your pizza dough difficult to stretch, let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to take the chill off. This is especially helpful when starting with refrigerated store-bought pizza dough.
Note on Leftover Pork/Chicken: If your meat is already sauced with BBQ sauce, skip tossing it with sauce before layering on the pizza dough.
Storage: Place individual slices of cooled pizza into an airtight container, stacking between pieces of parchment paper if needed. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 375℉ or in the oven for 10-12 minutes at 325℉.
