Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Pizza Dough
If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature. If making from scratch, follow your preferred recipe or use a pre-approved pizza dough recipe until the dough is ready.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- 3
Shape the Pizza Base
On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, approximately 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 4
Add the Vodka Sauce
Spread the vodka sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 5
Layer the Stracciatella and Pepperoni
Tear the stracciatella cheese into smaller pieces and scatter it over the sauce. Then, evenly distribute the pepperoni slices on top.
- 6
Season the Pizza
Drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Add Pickled Fresno Peppers
Once the pizza is out of the oven, add the pickled Fresno peppers evenly across the pizza for a spicy kick.

Garnish with Basil
Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
