Molinari knows how to make an impressive pizza.
She has shared many pizza-making demos on TikTok with her 2 million followers, each a different kind of pizza with a variety of toppings. She recently shared what she called her "favorite pizza," the Grandma!
"Very similar to the Sicilian," she said before putting some olive oil on the pan and preparing the pizza dough.
"I'm not gonna lie, I've never made this before," she explained after tossing the pizza dough in the air. After putting the dough into the square pan, she said, "We're gonna do cheese first."
She sprinkled a generous amount of mozzarella cheese all over the pizza before adding dollops of tomato sauce and garlic. She then personalized it a bit with one of her favorite ingredients to cook with - parsley.
