Steps:
- Follow the Best Pizza Dough or Thin Crust Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
- Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here's the pizza oven we use).
- Run the spinach under warm water in a strainer, then squeeze out as much water as possible so that it has a dry, crumbly texture. Mix it in a bowl with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, the garlic powder and the oregano.
- Mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta with the kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and minced garlic. Thinly slice the red onion, and dice the roasted red pepper.
- When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see How to Stretch Pizza Dough for instructions. Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
- Spread the seasoned ricotta onto the dough. Top with the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, spinach, red onion, and red pepper.
- Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven). Slice into pieces and serve immediately.

PEPPER-JACK & SPINACH PIZZA PIE
I love this pretty little pizza, not just for its amazing flavors but also for how quick it is to put together. I am not a big fan of tomato sauce on pizza so this pizza is one of my favorites. The pepper-jack cheese is wonderful! I use fresh spinach; if you want to use fresh spinach, remove stems, wash well and tear into large pieces. Saute the spinach in some of the bacon fat until it begins to wilt. Squeeze dry and combine with the other ingredients, as indicated in step two. Approximately three pounds of fresh spinach will equal the amount of frozen spinach used here, but if you don't mind a pie with less spinach then one pound will suffice. WINE: A nice Australian Shiraz with its plum and blackcurrant flavors and its slight whisper of black pepper is a great accompaniment for this cheesy pizza.
