Microwave Pizza from scratch under 30 min
Placing an order for a quick home delivery and waiting anxiously for the pizzas to arrive can prove futile for few reasons.
- Pizzas may not be the very fresh out of oven steaming hot.
- The amount of money you need to shell out for something that ends as soon as it arrives
- It makes you feel guilty for the fat proportions which otherwise could be very well controlled , had you been cooking
Fret no more, I have been making these easy peasy pizzas , with no compromise on flavors many times off late. The only reason I make the laborious baked pizzas otherwise is when I have time on hand and would like to fill the house with aromas of baked goodies.

1 tspn baking powder
a pinch of baking soda

*Disclaimer
If the distance between your refrigerator, sink, microwave, kitchen shelf is more than what I am used to, you may take a little longer. I will not forfeit any charges if the pizza takes more than 30 min. Appreciate it is still a better alternative
