Like most enduring dinner recipes, this one is less about a rigid formula and more about balance. The version on this page is written for 1 serving and lands at roughly 680 calories each, so you can see exactly how it fits your day before you start cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Caprese Pizza
How long does Caprese Pizza take to make?
Caprese Pizza takes about 25 minutes from start to finish. That is roughly about 25 minutes of prep. Actual times vary with your equipment and how much you prep in advance.
What ingredients can I substitute in Caprese Pizza?
Most ingredients in Caprese Pizza can be swapped for what you have on hand. Keep substitutions in the same role, trade one vegetable for another, one starch for another, or a protein for a similar protein, so cooking times and texture stay close. For dietary needs you can use a plant-based version of Mozzarella Cheese. Larger swaps will shift the calories and macros shown on this page.
How should I store leftover Caprese Pizza?
Caprese Pizza can usually be portioned into airtight containers and refrigerated for 2 to 4 days depending on the ingredients used. Let it cool before sealing, and keep it refrigerated rather than at room temperature.
Can I freeze Caprese Pizza?
Yes, Caprese Pizza generally freezes well. Cool it completely, portion it into airtight freezer-safe containers, and freeze for up to 2 to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
How do I reheat Caprese Pizza?
Reheat Caprese Pizza gently until it is piping hot throughout. The microwave is quickest for single portions, while the stovetop or oven keeps the texture closer to fresh. Add a splash of water or oil if it looks dry.
Can I scale Caprese Pizza up or down?
Yes. Caprese Pizza is written for 1 serving, and you can multiply or divide every ingredient by the same factor to scale it.

The calories and macros above are per serving, so they stay the same when you scale evenly.
What pan or dish should I use for Caprese Pizza?
A large skillet, saucepan, or sheet pan works well for Caprese Pizza. Pick one big enough to hold the ingredients in a single layer so everything cooks evenly instead of steaming.
How do I know when Caprese Pizza is cooked properly?

Is Caprese Pizza suitable for vegetarians?
