Q & A
Q: Can I eat this every day?
Yes—great for keto/low-carb, very filling, high protein.
Q: Best cheese combo?
Mozzarella + a little provolone or cheddar = amazing melt + flavor.
Q: Can I skip sauce for even fewer carbs?
Absolutely. Replace with olive oil + herbs or a spoon of cream cheese.
Q: Vegetarian option?
Use mushrooms, olives, peppers, spinach, and extra cheese.
