Pizza
- Nonstick spray optional

- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 3 TBSP All-purpose flour or more if needed
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 8 oz Mozzarella cheese shredded
- 4 oz Pepperoni sliced
Salad
Dressing:
- 2 TBSP Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Red wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp Dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
Pizza Parlor Salad:
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/2 cup Grape tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup Red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Black olives pitted
- 2 TBSP Banana peppers sliced
Beverage
- 24 oz Soda ice cold (soda of choice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Prep the pizza: Prepare the store bought dough according to the directions on the package (alternatively you can use the home made dough recipe).
- If using a baking sheet lightly grease it with nonstick spray or if using pizza stone sprinkle with semolina flour to prevent sticking.
- Clean and dry the countertop well (make sure your hands are dried well before working with the dough). Sprinkle the countertop with flour and place the dough on top of the flour, coating each side so the dough doesn't stick.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to fit the baking sheet or pizza stone. Make sure it is being stretched evenly and avoid creating thin spots (if the dough starts to stick while stretching it, sprinkle flour to prevent it from sticking).
- Gently place the dough onto the baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Evenly ladle and spread a thin layer of sauce on the dough. Sprinkle the cheese on the sauce then top with the pepperoni.
- Bake the pizza: Bake the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted, approximately 8-10 minutes more. While the pizza is baking, make the salad and vinaigrette.
- Prep salad ingredients per instruction above.
- Make the pizza parlor salad: Add the romaine lettuce to a large bowl. Top with the tomatoes, red onion, black olives, banana peppers.
- Make the vinaigrette: Put the oil, vinegar, oregano, Italian seasoning, sugar and some salt and pepper in a jar with a lid, secure the lid and shake to combine.
- Finish the pizza: Remove from the oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes before cutting.
- Serve: Enjoy the pizza with salad and ice cold soda of choice.
