Everything may be prepackaged and or premade, but it's how you put it together that counts! The precooking of the crust with some olive oil guarantees a nice crispy crust, which worked out great for the Boboli crust I bought. The measurements are the perfect ratio of sauce to cheese. I also threw on some slivered fresh basil. Thank you for turning the mundane into the sublime!!!!
