Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven once the cheese is melted and the crust edges are golden. Let cool for a few minutes.
- While cooling, chop the lettuce, dice the red onion, and slice the avocado if using.
- Cut the pizza into wedges, typically 8 slices.
- Top each slice with shredded lettuce, diced red onion, and avocado slices.
- Drizzle sour cream over the pizza using a squeeze bottle or spoon.
