The Technique That Changes Everything
Par-bake your crust. This means baking the dough BEFORE adding toppings.
Why? GF dough doesn't have gluten to hold structure when wet. If you add sauce and cheese directly on raw GF dough, the moisture makes it soggy and it never crisps up.
Par-baking for 8 minutes at 425°F sets the structure. Then when you add wet toppings and bake again, the crust stays crispy underneath.
This one tip is the difference between "meh" GF pizza and "wait, this is GLUTEN-FREE?!" pizza.

Make It a Family Event
Buy a pizza peel, set up a topping bar, and let everyone build their own pizza. Kids especially love this.
If you want to go all-in, the Ooni Koda Pizza Oven turns your backyard into a pizzeria. 60-second cook time, 950°F heat, absolutely incredible results. It's an investment, but if your family does pizza night weekly, it pays for itself in saved delivery orders.
