60 minutes
Pepperoni pizza is one of the most popular types of pizza, originating from Italy but gaining worldwide recognition for its rich flavor and appetizing appearance. Its base is a crispy dough topped with aromatic tomato sauce with garlic, oregano, and basil. The tender, stretchy mozzarella combines with spicy cured sausage, giving the dish a slight heat enhanced by thin slices of chili. Baked to golden perfection at high temperatures, this pizza is an ideal choice for friendly gatherings or cozy evenings at home. Pepperoni pairs well with fresh basil leaves or spicy sauce.
