Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 12″ HRI Classic Pepperoni Pizza

Toppings

  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 5 slices chipped ham
  • 5 slices soppressata salami
  • ⅓ cup red onion, sliced

Finishing Touches

  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 2 tbsp oil and vinegar, mixed
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450˚F (232˚C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the pizza crust to a golden crisp.
  2. Prepare Pizza Base: Remove the 12″ HRI Classic Pepperoni Pizza from all packaging and place it on a clean surface ready for additional toppings.
  3. Add Fresh Toppings: Evenly layer the sliced tomato, chipped ham, soppressata salami, and red onion over the pizza, distributing them to cover the surface nicely.
  4. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza directly on the oven rack to allow heat to circulate for a crispy crust, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and toppings are heated through.
  5. Add Lettuce and Dressing: Remove the pizza from the oven, then immediately scatter the shredded lettuce evenly over the hot pizza to add freshness and crunch.
  6. Dress and Season: Drizzle the mixture of 2 tablespoons oil and vinegar over the pizza, sprinkle 1 teaspoon oregano evenly, and garnish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finish.
  7. Serve: Cut the pizza into squares for easy serving and enjoy this delicious Italian Sub Pizza fresh and warm.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  • Use fresh and firm lettuce to maintain crispness.
  • Customize toppings based on preference, such as adding pickles or cheese.
  • Placing the pizza directly on the oven rack helps achieve a crispier crust compared to using a baking tray.
  • Allow the pizza to cool slightly after baking before adding lettuce and dressing to prevent wilting.
