This is my favorite pizza in the world, hands-down. There is a Neapolitan-style pizza place near my hometown that serves the most delicious, creative pizzas, which is where the inspiration for this pizza came from. I don’t live close to this pizza place anymore, so my own version was born out of necessity because I crave this pizza constantly. It’s a salad on top of a great pizza crust, so you feel healthy eating it too! I’ve always struggled with shaping a pizza into an actual round, but I found the key is freshly made pizza dough. I strongly encourage you to make your own or purchase from a trusted pizzeria. I have a Baking Steel, which I recommend to anyone serious about their pizza. They’re not cheap, but it will change the game for home pizza-making.
