Mike wakes up early on a Friday morning and decides, what better time to make a pizza?! Since his whole life is on YouTube now, he figures why not make it into a “How To” video for his channel because in multiple toutorials they say that it’s a great way to get your subscribers up. Mike’s friends don’t always support him so if you don’t know him please subscribe!!! Real directions how to make a pizza below if you can’t keep up with the video!!
