Substitutions:
- Use your favorite dairy-free, plant-based cheese instead of Mozzarella.
- Use your favorite meats other than pepperoni. Salami, sausage, bacon, and grilled chicken are all wonderful substitutions or additions.
- For more veggies, add red bell pepper or green bell pepper, mushrooms, and red onions.
- To make it vegetarian, omit the meat and use all veggies.
