Ingredients

1 package Urban Slicer Neapolitan Style Pizza Dough Mix
1/2 cup Bianco Dinapoli Crushed Tomatoes
2 tsp World Market® Organic Oregano
1 1/2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Zoe's Sliced Uncured Pepperoni (about 20 slices)
1/2 cup Mezzetta Sliced Hot Jalapeños
1/2 cup sliced Castellino Grilled Peppers
Mike’s Hot Honey, for drizzling
Urban Slicer Red Mojo Pizza Seasoning, for sprinkling
Flour, for dusting

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the Urban Slicer Neapolitan Style Pizza Dough Mix according to package directions. Note: The pizza dough will need between 2–4 hours of rising time.

Step 2

Preheat the Ooni Fyra 12 Portable Wood Pellet Outdoor Pizza Oven to about 950°F.

Step 3

Once the dough has doubled in size (between 2-4 hours), generously dust a pizza peel with flour. Stretch one ball of dough into a 12-inch circle and place it on the prepared pizza peel.

Step 4

Using a large spoon, evenly spread 1/4 cup crushed tomatoes on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of oregano over crushed tomatoes.

Step 5

Top pizza with 3/4 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup pepperoni, 1/4 cup jalapeños and 1/4 cup grilled peppers.

Step 6

Carefully slide the pizza off the peel and into the pizza oven. Cook for 1 1/2-2 minutes, rotating the pizza halfway through until the cheese is melted and the dough has a light char on the bottom.

Step 7

Remove the pizza from the oven and place on a serving tray. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle with Urban Slicer Red Mojo Pizza Seasoning.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 2 pies. Slice and enjoy!

How to Spice Up Pepperoni Pizza

Looking to spice up your pepperoni pizza? Here are 10 ways to give it an extra kick:

1. Spicy Sauce: Use a hot sauce or add red pepper flakes to your pizza sauce for a fiery base.
2. Hot Pepperoni: Opt for spicy pepperoni slices instead of regular ones to add heat and flavor.
3. Add Jalapeños: Slice fresh or pickled jalapeños and scatter them on top for an extra spicy punch.
4. Hot Seasoning: Sprinkle a spicy seasoning blend, such as cayenne pepper or chili powder, over the pizza before baking.
5. Spicy Oil: Drizzle some infused chili or pepper-infused olive oil on the pizza for a flavorful finish.
6. Hot Peppers: Experiment with different types of hot peppers, like serranos or habaneros, as a pizza topping.
7. Spicy Cheese: Use a spicy cheese variety, like pepper jack or a blend with jalapeños, to amp up the heat.
8. Fiery Onions: Sauté sliced onions with chili flakes or hot sauce before adding them as a topping.
9. Spicy Dipping Sauce: Serve your pizza with a side of hot sauce or spicy aioli for dipping.
10. Fresh Herbs: Add chopped fresh basil or cilantro after baking to balance the heat and add freshness.
