- Drizzle and Season: Drizzle balsamic glaze over each watermelon pizza for a tangy kick. If you love sweetness, you can also drizzle honey on top. Finish with a dash of black pepper and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish: Add blueberries and sliced strawberries on top for an extra pop of color and flavor. They not only make the dish more visually appealing but also add a delightful sweetness.
