Important Recipe Notes

Keep the watermelon chilled until you’re ready to cut it up – it tastes best when it’s still cold!
Use the center slice of your watermelon so it’s as round and even as possible.
I used strawberries, blueberries, and cherries for my pizza, but you can use whatever fruit you love or have on hand.
You can add a few lemon zest shavings or a drizzle of honey on top for even more flavor!
