FAQs
Can I make these pizza chips dairy-free?
Since mozzarella cheese is key to the texture, you can try using a plant-based shredded cheese substitute that melts well, but the result may differ in crispiness and flavor.
What if I don’t have Italian seasoning?
You can use a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme as a substitute or simply skip it—these chips will still be tasty with just cheese and pepperoni.
