If you prefer a spicy pie, use twice as much hot soppressata and none of the sweet type. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

  • This was soo good. I used Pepperoncinis instead of Fresno’s because that’s what I had, and I think I’d stick with them for next time. Cooked at 550 and it was done in 13-15 min

  • I cooked this for 20minutes and it was burned, check at 15minutes! Otherwise the dough and toppings were all excellent!

  • Pretty good! The crust comes out super crispy and charred but doesn't taste at all burnt, so don't be alarmed if it has big black spots. I did find it a bit dry, so I would spread an even layer of sauce over the whole pizza (and use about twice as much sauce) rather than dolloping like the recipe says.

  • I made this for the first time over the weekend. Followed the recipe almost exactly as written, though I did use sweet Italian sausage instead of the recipe ingredients due to time and availability. After the first bite I was hooked. Easily one of the tastiest homemade pizzas I've ever made. My crust came out perfectly, and much to my surprise it was rich without being overly greasy. It was a little more well-done on the top than I might have liked after 20 minutes in the oven so I might try covering it with tin foil half way through next time, or maybe I just need a better mozzarella that won't burn so easily. Other than that it was PERFECT. Carla's video was also very helpful and very funny. I watched it 2-3 times in preparation for the meal.
