Its peak summer in tokyo now.And we are bored with regular food stuff.sunday i made a simple pizza and it was yummy.well as i had got pizza base almost 2 days early ,i didnt do shopping fo rhte required toppings.lazy summer u see.i just used the frozen stuff for toppings.the pizza sauce was the real hero as it made the pizza real hit.i did it on Tava as i found it easier than the oven.and the crust became real crisp.here's wat all u need to make this simple recipe.

Ingredients:
