1: Prepare your pizza dough ahead of time.

Our guide to making the perfect Classic Pizza Dough covers everything you need to know.

2: For the sauce for this pizza, we recommend preparing our easy Classic Pizza Sauce.

With a hint of garlic, salt and basil, it's the ideal pizza sauce that will help to bring out the flavours in the other ingredients used here.

3: Fire up your Ooni pizza oven.

Aim for 500˚C (952˚F) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.

4: Using a small amount of flour, dust your Ooni pizza peel.

Stretch the pizza dough ball out and lay it out on your pizza peel. With a large spoon or ladle, spread an even layer of your tomato sauce over the base. Top with your torn mozzarella, followed by a few generous dollops of ricotta. Finally, add your halved cherry tomatoes. 

5: Slide the pizza off the peel and into your oven.

Cook for 1-2 minutes, making sure to turn the pizza regularly for an even cook.

6: Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and finish with a seasoning of salt, pepper, and a couple of fresh basil leaves.

Serve immediately!
