mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella has less fat while still melting well.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni reduces calories while providing similar flavor.

pizza sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomato sauce

Homemade sauce can be healthier with no preservatives.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Romano cheese

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Proof the pizza dough for a few hours until bubbly.

Preheat the Ooni Volt oven for cooking.

Use an Ooni Detroit pizza pan for the pizza.

Parbake the dough in the oven for about 4 minutes without toppings.

Remove the parbaked dough from the oven.

Add shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the parbaked dough.

Add cupping pepperoni on top of the mozzarella cheese.

Return the pizza to the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese is caramelized and the pepperoni is curled.

Remove the pizza from the oven and add tomato sauce in two racing stripes on top.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Use a spatula to carefully lift the pizza from the pan, ensuring the cheese edges remain intact.

Slice the pizza into rectangle pieces and serve.
