Pizza Recipes Pepperoni

So when I decided to make pizza at home, I knew it needed to be better than your average delivery. It needed tons of pepperoni, a nice crust, great flavor, and maybe even a surprise or two to put it over the top.

First, on the dough: Don't get overwhelmed! If it's your first time making pizza at home, just buy the dough. You can usually find pizza dough at the grocery store, or some pizza places will sell you a one-pound ball of dough for a few bucks.

I don't believe this pizza works well as a deep dish, Chicago-style pizza, but there are still two baking options I'd recommend. (There are more, but let's keep it simple!)

Use a pizza stone: This is my favorite way to get a great crust, but it does require some equipment. You need a pizza stone and a pizza peel (the thing you use to slide the pizza onto the stone). If you have those two things, though, you can open up a pizza joint in your kitchen! This is a reliable, low-stress method once you get the hang of it. The pizza ends up being a bit more freeform, and you can make the crust nice and thin, which I like. A large pizza cooks in 12 to 14 minutes on a hot stone.

Use a cast iron skillet: If you don’t have a pizza stone, put your dough into a large cast iron skillet, and press it out and up the sides a bit. You'll get a slightly thicker crust than you would with the pizza stone, but not deep-dish thickness. Set the skillet on your stovetop for two minutes over high heat (this helps form a crispy crust), then transfer it to your oven to finish baking.

When you get a really good pizza from a brick oven pizza place, the ovens are HOT—way hotter than you can realistically get from a home oven. But the rule still stands that the hotter your oven, the crispier and more delicious your crust will be.

So, crank up your oven to 500°F or even 550°F if your oven can handle it. If you are using a pizza stone, let the stone preheat for 20 minutes so it gets nice and hot as well.

There are so many different kinds of pepperoni in the store these days, and you can use any of those options for pizza. For my money, though, I prefer small, thinly sliced pepperoni so they get a nice char on top. If you go with thicker pepperoni slices, you'll have a chewier texture. It's personal preference!

Pepperoni, Mozzarella And Blue Cheese Pizzas

I always find it lame when I get a pepperoni pizza that has, like, five pieces of pepperoni on it. But if you pile on a ton of pepperoni, you end up with a greasy mess.

The best way to reheat pizza is in a skillet, cast iron or similar. Add a drizzle of oil over medium heat, and then add the pizza. Then cover the skillet, and cook the pizza until the cheese has melted and the crust is crispy again, about three to four minutes.

This is something I picked up from a local Colorado pizza spot. (Shout out Beau Jos Pizza!) They serve their pizza with honey butter on the side, which is great for dipping the crust. I made the honey butter for me, but my kids were happy to scarf it down, too.

I can always count on my kids to eat a pizza, but since they normally eat delivery, it was nice to show them that pizza can be made at home, too. And it turns out Dad makes a good pizza! I used my trick of hiding pepperoni under the cheese to tell my kids there was Bonus Pepperoni on the pizza, and could they find it?! (Yes, yes they could.)

When I served this to my kids, I half hoped they would reject it for some reason so that I'd have a curveball for the report card, but nope. Pizza is pizza. It's always a winner.

Easy Vegan Pepperoni (step By Step Tutorial)

We have been making pepperoni pizza with jalapeno and hot honey on repeat, over and over again. Sometimes we go simple with pepperoni, red chili flakes, and a drizzle of hot honey. Sometimes we add in some hot calabrese salami for some extra spice.

It is so easy to make homemade pizza at home! You can whip up homemade pizza dough in less than 10 minutes and all you have to do is let it rise.

To make your cheese extra melty and bubbly, I suggest buying a block of mozzarella cheese and freshly grating it. The bags of pre-shredded mozzarella cheese don’t melt as well.
