There’s absolutely nothing better than pizza with homemade crust topped a winning blend of toppings. In this version, bubbly, melted Mozzarella smothers caramelized leeks and roasted cherry tomatoes and it’s topped off with Italian ham. This recipe makes 9-inch individual pizzas, but feel free to make one large pizza.
