Method
Preparation and Baking
- 1
Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, crush the DOP San Marzano tomatoes using your hands or a fork. Add salt to taste and mix well to create a simple tomato sauce.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 250°C or 482°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

Shape the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a circle about 10-12 inches in diameter, making sure the edges are slightly thicker for the crust.

Assemble the Pizza
Spread a layer of the crushed San Marzano tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Tear the DOP Buffalo Mozzarella into pieces and distribute evenly over the sauce. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve
Once out of the oven, immediately scatter fresh basil leaves over the pizza. Slice and serve hot.
