Super Pizza Recipe from Northern Italy for Fast Casual

The flavor leaps from this simple pizza!

This pizza was prepared in Trento Italy in by our friend Albert in a 140 model revolving brick oven at approximately 750 degrees.  

The best things in life are sometimes easy too.

First- you will need an easy Neapolitan dough for a base which is then generously covered with fresh buffalo mozzarella broken in pieces and a very light spattering of tomato sauce.  Then (and this is key) after it is baked to perfection you slice fresh sopressa and gently fold it over your pizza in a delicate blanket. Next comes the artichoke hearts and finally the Gaeta olives.  The savory meat, delicate crust with hints of yeast and the tangy olives combine with rich cheese and artichokes to delight the pickiest of pallets.
Sauce can be substituted by a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if you prefer but as with any delectable dish-you can only get out of it what you put into it, so use the best available ingredients, then bake to perfection  in your New York Brick Oven.  I you need to learn the Art of Pizza please contact the Pizza School of New York, they can make it easy for you and get you started on the right foot.

The main draw to these new ovens is that they eliminate the need for skilled labor to constantly rotate pizza and understand the mechanics of cooking in a traditional fixed cooking surface brick oven.

The innovative patented design feature of an electric heating element below the cooking surface ensures the surface is always hot and augments the wood or gas fire capabilities of the oven while reducing initial start-up time to reach the ideal operating temperature.
