Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to max temp (450-500°F). Preheat your pizza stone or a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Tip: A hot oven is the secret to a crust that is crispy outside and soft inside.
2 ✓

Peel the red onion and slice paper-thin. Slice the chilies thinly as well.

Tip: Thin slices ensure the onion softens and sweetens even during the short baking time.
3 ✓

Stretch the dough by hand to your desired size, leaving a slightly thicker rim.

Tip: Push air from the center to the edges with your fingers to preserve the dough's structure.
4 ✓

Spread the sauce in a circular motion, leaving the rim clean. Sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: Less is sometimes more; too much sauce makes the dough soggy.
5 ✓

Tear the drained mozzarella and distribute evenly.

Tip: Watery mozzarella can ruin a pizza; always pat dry with paper towels before use.
6 ✓

Arrange the salami, red onion, and chili slices on top.

Tip: The salami releases fat during baking, which flavors the onions.
7 ✓

Bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.

Tip: Rotate the pizza halfway through if your oven bakes unevenly.
8 ✓

Drizzle with olive oil after baking, rest for a few minutes, then slice.

Tip: Fresh oil highlights the tomato and spice flavors.

Recipe FAQ

Too spicy?
Drizzle with a little honey before serving or serve with a side of ranch or sour cream to tame the heat.
The onions burned.
Next time slice them a bit thicker, or place them under or between the cheese to protect them from direct heat.
What salami should I use?
Any spicy cured salami works, but Napoli Piccante or Spanish Chorizo are best.
