Notes
Chop your toppings: Since these are small, it's best to chop all your toppings so the pizza bites are easier to eat.
Keep an eye on them: Once the mozzarella is melted, these are ready to serve. They can turn from perfectly cooked to burned in a matter of seconds!
Let them cool first: Don't serve them straight from the oven. They will be very hot! Let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes first.
