If it’s a good pizza with a proper Italian base then I like simple Margherita! If you’ve got a nice dough, tomato, mozarella and basil and a glass of red wine you don’t need anything else, reminds me of being on holiday in Italy
Done badly and cheap supermarket margheritas can be really boring and naff though
If we go out for pizza a lot of places do some sort of goat’s cheese and rocket combo, I love that
There’s no such thing as a decent pizza outside of Italy unless you can find a restaurant that has an Italian born, raised, and trained pizza chef. Pizza By Golli is one such place in Sutton Coldfield.
I prefer ham and mushrooms or pepperoni and mushrooms on my pizzas.
Funny you should mention ‘Pizza’s’ butterscotch, Tuesday is pizza night and we always have one of these. Not much time to make our own but I do some mash potato and extra veg to liven it up a bit…
Thin crust margherita pizza is my favourite - preferably made and eaten in Italy - but I’ll settle for one of your home-made pizzas @Meg - they sound just right!
We haven’t made a pizza from scratch for ages, must have another go soon.
I do struggle with the dough, it just seems to be a little too spongy, maybe the bog standard oven just isn’t up to the job.
Next time I’ll be adding more olives, the topping looks a bit sparse.
It’s partly for a laugh so the old man can pretend he’s a take-away
But mostly when the pizzas come out of the Ooni, they are red hot, far too hot to heat and you have to let them cool for 5-15 minutes before you could eat them
So what we do, especially if we’re doing pizza for lots of guests, is cook the pizza, then into the box, then stored in the hot bag while we cook the next one!
The pizza oven is so hot that the pizzas literally take only 2-3 minutes to cook
So when we’ve done them all, plus a batch of garlic dough balls, we open the bag, give everyone their pizza in a box, and lay the table up with plates, knifes and forks, salad etc
