Stove Top Pizza: You don't have a microwave oven? No Problem. You can still make your pizza using a tava. Heat the tava on medium flame, and once hot, place the pizza topped with vegetables and cheese on the tava. Cover with a raised lid and heat on low flame for 1-2 minutes or till the cheese melts. Remove the pizza using a flat spoon, cut it into quarters and serve hot.
