Italy to bring back secrets from and . Want to make the best homemade pizza
crust and pizza sauce? Want to bake it just right on a blazing hot ? We’ll show
you how to do it all. Let’s make Italian pizza together!
WHAT IS ITALIAN PIZZA?
Before we start: what is real Italian pizza? American-style delivery pizza is
nothing like Italian pizza. But just like any popular food, there are different
styles of Italian pizza based on region and method. For example:
* In Rome: There’s a Roman pizza chef called Bonci who’s made a name for
himself making rectangular thick crust pizza with incredible bright colored
toppings (see our post!).
* In Naples: is the birth place of pizza itself, and here the pizza crust is
thin and supple! It’s covered in tangy tomatoes, often a simple .
Here’s our definition of Italian pizza: a pizza with simple flavors and a
supple, thin crust, that’s cooked in a very hot oven. (This is also the
definition we use for our .) The recipe we’ll share below is elegantly simple: a
perfect crust, tangy tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and a bright green homemade
basil pesto.

WHAT YOU NEED: THE TOOLS FOR ITALIAN PIZZA
Before you start making Italian pizza, you’ll need a few special tools. Are you
in it to win it? Then you need these two tools to make truly great Italian
pizza:
* : A is what makes Italian pizza crust crispy on the outside and soft on the
inside. Here’s a � we recommend, plus a bit more on� the and .
* Pizza peel:� A pizza peel is used to slide the pizza onto the hot in the
oven. Try this� � or this� Conveyor pizza peel. The conveyor is worth the
extra investment since it makes it very easy to slide the pizza out of the
oven.
HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN PIZZA DOUGH
It all starts with a good . It took Alex and me 10 years to create our perfect
dough recipe! We’ve learned a few things from some of the premiere pizza
restaurant chefs in America, who themselves have studied the pizza in Naples.
Here are a few tips:
* If you can, use great flour (Tipo 00). The flour we use is called ; it’s what
Neapolitan pizza restaurants use. It makes for a beautiful, supple and fluffy
dough. We buy our . If you can’t find it, all-purpose works too.
* Use the right recipe. This is our perfect method! We make it using , but you
can also knead it by hand. Or, try our that makes a thinner dough that you
roll out.
Watch our video! Dough is easiest to learn about by watching it. Since we

TOP WITH EASY ITALIAN-STYLE PIZZA SAUCE
This Italian pizza uses our recipe. It’s truly the best because it brings big
flavor with high quality ingredients. Even better, it only takes 5 minutes to

little salt. That’s it! 5 minutes, tops.
* Make sure to use fire roasted tomatoes. are becoming easily accessible at
most grocery stores in the US. If you can’t find them, use the highest
quality tomatoes you can find.
DOLLOP WITH HOMEMADE PESTO (OR BEST QUALITY STORE-BOUGHT)!
In this Italian pizza recipe, we’ve gone super simple: tomato sauce, mozzarella
cheese, and homemade pesto. The simplicity of the flavors is truly stunning. Add
the pesto after baking the pizza for the freshest flavor and brightest color.
Here are a few notes on the pesto topping:
* Homemade pesto makes the brightest green color. This pesto recipe we used is
our recipe. It’s made by whizzing up fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan
cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil in a until they form a bright green paste.
* Try one of our variations for a twist. Try our , , or even .
Or, use a highest quality store-bought pesto. The flavor is better with
homemade pesto, but these days there are lots of great purchased options.
Sometimes the color on purchased pesto sauces can look more brown than green.
If you’d like the bright green in the photo, homemade pesto is best.

Can I make a good pizza on a cast iron pizza pan? I don’t have a stone, but
I have a well seasoned cast iron pizza pan. Do you have any suggestions for
using a cast iron pan?

I’m trying your recipe today for supper. I have two questions. First,
regarding flour, would bread flour work instead of the tipi 00 flour? I have
all purpose flour and bread flour in my house right now. Also, I don’t own a
pizza stone. I have a cast iron pizza pan. I also have a pizza peel. Can I
use the cast iron pan in the same way you’d use a pizza stone? Thank you!
