Tips

Ensure your oven is fully preheated, especially if using a pizza stone, to achieve an extra-crispy crust.
Cook the chorizo until it's truly crispy; this enhances the texture and flavor contrast against the soft cheese.
Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect crispy crust and warm, gooey toppings. A final sprinkle of red pepper flakes can amplify the heat.
