# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like Caesar salad and pizza had a delicious, unexpected baby that somehow works better than either alone.
  • Everything comes together in about 30 minutes, which means you can feed hungry people without the stress.
  • The warm, garlicky bread paired with cool, crisp lettuce creates this textural contrast that keeps you coming back for another slice.
02 -
  • Add the lettuce only after the pizzas come out of the oven, or it'll wilt into sadness and you'll lose that fresh crunch that makes this whole thing special.
  • If your oven runs hot, start checking at 9 minutes because burnt cheese edges are disappointing and the naan can harden fast once it's overdone.
03 -
  • Let your Caesar dressing reach room temperature before mixing it with the chicken, so it coats everything evenly instead of clumping.
  • If you're making this for a crowd, have the lettuce dressed and ready to go the second those pizzas come out of the oven so the texture stays perfect.
