Pizza Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, making a round shape.

  2. 2

    Add the Sauce

    Spread the house pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.

  4. 4

    Season the Pizza

    Drizzle olive oil over the top, then sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Carefully transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve hot.
