Pepperoni and mozzarella brick oven pizza

This is the pizza the crust was built for. The brick oven crust comes fully seasoned and par-baked, waiting only for sauce, cheese, and pepperoni to turn into dinner in under twenty minutes. Simplicity itself on a night when speed matters.

Serves 2. 25 minutes, 8 at the stove.

You need

From your shelf

  • 1 Rao's homemade brick oven crust pizza
  • 3/4 cup [180 ml] Rao's pizza sauce
  • 3 oz [85 g] uncured pepperoni
  • 6 oz [170 g] mozzarella

Staples

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F [230°C]. Place the brick oven crust on a sheet pan and brush 1 teaspoon of olive oil around its edges.
  2. Spread 3/4 cup of Rao's sauce over the crust, leaving a half-inch border. Tear 6 oz of mozzarella into rough pieces and scatter over the sauce.
  3. Tear 3 oz of uncured pepperoni into large pieces and distribute across the cheese.
  4. Slide the pan into the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden at the edges, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Note Swap the mozzarella for fresh burrata or feta if you prefer. Leftovers keep one day in a low oven or wrapped in foil at room temperature. Serve with a green salad tossed in lemon and oil, or slide it beside a bowl of soup.
