Pizza Ingredients

Method

Pizza Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a flour-dusted surface to your desired thickness.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Pizza

    Spread the hearty marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Layer the thinly sliced meatballs evenly on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the meatballs.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese generously over the meatballs and garlic.

  4. 4

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza to enhance flavor and help with browning.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Finish with Hot Honey

    Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle Mike's Hot Honey over the top for a sweet and spicy kick.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice the pizza, and serve immediately.
