Cooking dinner when its 90+ degrees outside might be a moms least favorite thing to do (well one of them). Summers are for salads, chilled soups, sandwiches and anything that takes 30 minutes or less. That’s exactly why this pizza recipe should be a summer go-to for moms everywhere. It’s fancy enough for moms and it’s child-proof (what kid doesn’t like pizza?).
