Pepperoni and Burrata Pizzeria-Style Pizza

This pizza features a crispy crust topped with a simple tomato sauce, slices of spicy pepperoni, and generous dollops of creamy burrata cheese. The baking process creates bubbling cheese and crisp edges, with the burrata adding a rich, velvety texture once melted. The final dish presents a golden-brown crust with contrasting textures of crisp and gooey, topped with vibrant, fragrant ingredients.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade) preferably at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce spread evenly over the dough
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni spread over the sauce
  • 1 ball burrata cheese tear into pieces and dollop on top
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling
  • to taste salt and black pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Rolling pin
  • Chef's knife
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spoon or ladle

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
  2. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a thin, even circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
  4. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Scatter the sliced pepperoni over the sauce, aiming for even coverage.
  6. Carefully slide the pizza into the hot oven, baking for about 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy and the pepperoni is bubbling.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately tear the burrata into large pieces, dolloping it across the hot toppings so it begins to melt slightly.
  8. Drizzle the top with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
  9. Let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes to allow the cheese to soften further and the flavors to meld.
  10. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot, watching the cheese stretch with each cut and enjoying the crispy crust paired with creamy burrata.
