Diablo Pepperoni Pizza

Pepperoni is famous for being the most commonly ordered pizza. What is it about cured meats that makes the pizza-eating population tick? We’ve taken the classic pepperoni pizza one step further by adding frankfurter and chorizo as well as a spicy kick of red chillies - adding tastes of Spain and Germany to a traditional (and much loved) Italian-American classic.

IngredientsMakes 1x 12”/16” pizza

250/330g (8.8/11.6oz) classic pizza dough 4-5 tbsp Classic Pizza Sauce 39g (1.4oz) mozzarella, torn into pieces39g (1.4oz) pepperoni, sliced1 frankfurter, sliced39g (1.4oz) chorizo, sliced1 red chilli, choppedFresh basil 

MethodPrepare your pizza dough ahead of time – our guide to making the perfect Classic Pizza Dough covers everything you need to know.

For the sauce for this pizza, we recommend preparing our easy Classic Pizza Sauce. With a hint of garlic, salt and basil, it's the ideal pizza sauce that will help to bring out the flavours in the other ingredients used here.

Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 500˚C (952˚F) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.

Using a small amount of flour, dust your Ooni pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough ball out and lay it out on your pizza peel. With a large metal spoon, spread the sauce evenly across the pizza base. Top with the pepperoni, frankfurter, chorizo, red chilli and mozzarella.

Slide the pizza off the peel and into the Ooni pizza oven. Cook for 1-2 minutes, making sure to turn regularly. 

Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil for an extra kick of flavour. Serve immediately!
