Add Spices. Family Loved the meal only because I added the oregano, basil and garlic to the meat while it cooked as well into the tomato sauce. Otherwise it would have been Boring!

Meaty Mushrooms. This recipe is so good! Highly recommend if you like mushrooms. The recipe wasnt specific on the size of the portabello mushrooms. We only had 3-inch diameter portabellos here and we still had excess meat to use after buying the recommended amount of mushrooms. I would either buy bigger mushrooms next time, or buy double of the smaller sized mushrooms. We also added our own spices to our ground pork to make it more flavorful. I will be making this again.

Mushroom lovers. Do you like mushrooms on your pizza? Skip it as a topping and make if the crust. This is another Whole30 game changer! Simply add mozzarella for family or friends that are not whole30.

Very filling. Tastes just like a mushroom and sausage pizza. I didn’t miss the crust at all. Very satisfying and filling.
