Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough:

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Sauce:

1 cup pizza sauce (or use a balsamic reduction for a twist)

Cheeses:

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup crumbled goat cheese

½ cup sliced provolone cheese

Cured Meats:

3 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced

3 oz salami, thinly sliced

3 oz chorizo, sliced

Garnishes:

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup marinated olives

¼ cup fresh arugula or basil leaves

2 tbsp olive oil for drizzling

1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or the highest setting for your oven to ensure a crispy crust.

    Prepare Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter).

      Add Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce across the rolled-out dough. If you’re using a balsamic reduction, drizzling it sparingly will add a gourmet touch.

        Layer Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Add dollops of goat cheese and arrange the provolone slices for a beautiful presentation.

          Arrange Meats: Evenly distribute the prosciutto, salami, and chorizo over the cheese layer, making sure to cover every inch of the pizza for a hearty flavor profile.

            Garnish with Veggies: Scatter halved cherry tomatoes and marinated olives across the pizza for a burst of color and taste.

              Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza onto a pre-heated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

                Finish with Freshness: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with fresh arugula or basil leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, red pepper flakes, and freshly cracked black pepper.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm, either as a meal or as part of a larger gathering. Perfect for sharing!
