  • Tomato Sauce: Tangy and acidic, it complements the savory meat toppings.
  • Cheese (Mozzarella): Provides creaminess and richness, balancing the strong flavors of the meat.
  • Meat Toppings (Pepperoni, Sausage, Ham, Bacon): Each adds a salty, smoky, and sometimes spicy flavor to the pizza, making it hearty and satisfying.
