Take the premade pizza crust and brush it evenly with ¼ cup olive oil. This helps create a crispy, golden base for the mac and cheese topping.

Spoon the creamy macaroni and cheese mixture onto the pizza crust, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

Sprinkle ½ cup shredded colby jack cheese over the macaroni and cheese. This adds an extra layer of cheesy goodness and helps the topping meld together during baking.
