    Notes

    • For pizza sauce, we love the Cucina Antica brand for a great sugar-free option.
    • Applegate makes great clean-ingredient pepperoni that we are able to find at a ton of different stores.
    • These boats also re-heat really well.  Set the oven at 375ºF and cook until warmed through.
