Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven or wood-fired pizza oven to 500°F (260°C). On a floured surface, roll out 12 oz pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 8 oz crushed Italian plum tomatoes with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes until well combined.
Step 3: Spread the tomato mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle 6 oz shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 4: Arrange 6 oz sliced spicy chorizo sausage evenly over the cheese, then scatter 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano leaves and drizzle 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over the entire pizza.
Step 5: Bake on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese bubbles and browns slightly.
Step 6: Remove from oven, let rest 2 minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
