Why this works
Fries are mostly water and starch. Put raw fries on pizza dough and they release steam, soften the base and create something nobody asked for. Pre-bake them first — they arrive on the pizza already crisp and stay that way in the oven's second pass. Cheese holds the whole thing together. Garlic sauce goes on after baking so it does not make everything wet.
