Tips for the Best Pizza
Use the highest quality tomatoes you can find — San Marzano are ideal. Let your dough rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before stretching. A very hot oven (250°C+) is the secret to a crispy crust.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately straight from the oven. Pair with a simple arugula salad and a glass of Chianti.
