Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    For the sauce, we recommend preparing our easy Classic Béchamel Sauce. With a hint of nutmeg, bay leaf, and pepper, it’s an essential recipe that will come in handy for lots of delicious dishes!

  3. 3

    Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 500˚C (950˚F) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.

  4. 4

    Using a small amount of flour, dust your Ooni pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough ball out and lay it on your peel. With a large spoon, spread the Béchamel sauce evenly across the base. Next, add your mussels (still in their shells), followed by a sprinkling of pine nuts. Remember to avoid using closed mussels, as these will be bad.

  5. 5

    Slide your pizza off the peel and into the hot Ooni and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes, making sure to turn the pizza every 30 seconds or so.

  6. 6

    Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven. Finish with a garnish of fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper. Serve straight away!
