Roasted Garlic Pizza
Skip the takeout. This roasted garlic pizza is a better version you can make right at home, with sweet, spreadable roasted garlic, juicy roma tomato and fresh basil on a crisp crust. Melty V&V Supremo® Shredded Chihuahua® Brand Cheese or V&V Supremo® Shredded Mexican 3 Cheese Blend and a finish of Grated V&V Supremo® Sierra® Brand Cotija Cheese bring it all together.
