One of our favorite things to do once the weather gets nice is to have outdoor pizza nights! We prepare tons of topping options and make our dough in advance. Then we fire up the wood fire pizza oven and each make our own creation! Keep reading below to see the details that go into our perfect pizzas.

THE DOUGH

A major key to creating a perfect pizza is having a great dough. There are tons of local options to purchase pre-made pizza dough but if you have the extra time to make your own, it’s definitely worth it. We do a simple dough that doesn’t take more than an hour to fully rise. We also have perfected a gluten free pizza dough. It took weeks of trial to get it just right… we will share this recipe in detail in another post!

THE TOPPINGS

The best part of our pizza nights is getting to try endless topping combinations. We usually cut up each pizza and share it so we can try more kinds! Our toppings included: homemade pizza sauce, seasoned ricotta, fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, caramelized tomatoes, pepperoni, cherry peppers, soppressata, green olives, banana peppers, grated cheese and basil.
