For the pizza sauce

1. Place a pizza base on a flat, dry surface and spread ½ portion of the pizza sauce on it. Arrange ¼ cup capsicum juliennes over it and sprinkle ½ cup of grated cheese evenly over it.
2. Repeat step 1 to make 1 more pizza and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°c (360°f) for 12 to 15 minutes or till the pizza base is crisp.
