Yield Makes one 12-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup heirloom tomatoes (any combination of halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced medium tomatoes)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
3 to 4 ounces Pecorino Pepato cheese, thinly sliced
1 round Chris Bianco's Pizza Dough
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Sicilian
7 thin slices guanciale or pancetta
1/4 cup torn fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone on floor of gas oven (remove racks) or bottom rack of electric oven. Preheat oven to at least 500 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine tomatoes and oil; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 1 hour.
  • Arrange cheese evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with tomatoes, oregano, and guanciale.
  • Switch oven to broiler setting. Align edge of peel with edge of stone. Tilt peel, jerking it gently to move pizza. When edge of pizza touches stone, quickly pull back peel to transfer pizza to stone. (Do not move pizza.) Broil until bubbles begin to form in crust, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce temperature to 500 degrees; bake until crust is crisp and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. (If not using broiler, bake pizza 10 to 15 minutes total.) Remove pizza from oven using peel. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with basil. Slice and serve.

I thought this pizza was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This pizza was a little too oily for my taste.

I love the combination of flavors in this pizza. The sweetness of the tomatoes, the tanginess of the goat cheese, and the bitterness of the arugula are all perfect together.

This pizza is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the crust right. It always comes out too dry.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, so I left it off my pizza. It was still really good!

I had some trouble getting the crust to cook evenly. It was a little too crispy on the edges and a little too chewy in the middle.

This pizza was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of cheese.

This pizza was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought crust and it still came out delicious.

I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this pizza. The goat cheese and arugula balanced out the sweetness of the tomatoes perfectly.

This pizza was a hit with my family! The heirloom tomatoes added a delicious sweetness and juiciness, and the goat cheese and arugula added a nice tang and freshness. The crust was perfectly crispy and chewy. I will definitely be making this pizza ag
