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 spoon or ladle, spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the base of your pizza. Top with mozzarella, ham, spicy pepperoni, and diced pineapple. Finish with a sprinkle of sliced jalapeños, as many as you dare!

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

Finish with a drizzle of your favourite hot sauce and serve immediately for maximum spicy, sweet, and salty goodness.
