Nobody likes soggy pizza crust, and using fresh tomatoes can be problematic for that very reason. But we've got a trick for that. Start out by buying ripe but firm tomatoes. Salt the tomatoes first to draw out some of the moisture, then pat them dry before adding to the pizza. For a visually striking pizza, find an assortment of tomatoes with varying colors and shapes.
