Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for 30 minutes to mimic a wood-fired oven.
  2. Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, stretch 1 lb pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a pizza peel or parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp dried oregano over the cheese.
  5. Step 5: Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone and bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is crisp and cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Step 6: Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup black olives, 1/4 cup pepperoni slices, 1/4 cup sliced salami, 1/4 cup cubed provolone cheese, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil in a bowl.
  7. Step 7: Toss the antipasto salad with 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  8. Step 8: Remove pizza from oven, let cool for 2 minutes, slice, and serve alongside the antipasto salad.
