Reviewed by Marco Rivera · Updated
How to know this is your problem
- •Pizza is floppy and wet
- •Won't hold its shape when picked up
- •Pooling liquid on top
Why it happens
- →Too much sauce or wet toppings
- →Fresh mozzarella not drained

How to fix it
- 1
Drain and pat dry all wet toppings (mozzarella, tomatoes, vegetables)
- 2
Pre-cook watery vegetables (mushrooms, peppers, spinach)
- 3
Add fresh ingredients like basil AFTER baking
- 4
Bake longer — a properly baked pizza should be rigid, not floppy
