    We have a big group coming this year-what a lifesaver this recipe is! We’ll try it! Quick question-I know butter is the best, but have recently gone dairy free. Cheating is okay for me like once a week, so I could use the butter and take one for the team, but I’m wondering-do you think margarine would be gross in this recipe? More specifically, a vegetable spread like Earth Balance?

      Hi Wendy, what a great question. I think Earth Balance would or another vegetable spread would definitely work really well with this recipe 🙂

This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping This meatball Caesar pizza is a fun pizza topping combo that combines best of both worlds: meatballs and tangy Caesar dressing 🤩
TIP: I used Costco frozen meatballs which have a little heat to them. If your meatballs are on the plainer side, I’d recommend adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes!
