SO EASY + family-friendly! Keep it plain with cheese or add all your favorite toppings – pepperoni, sausage, and/or veggies!

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ pounds pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
  • 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, such as San Marzano, drained
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup yellow cornmeal
  • 8 ounces mozzarella, shredded
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 (5-ounce) package sliced pepperoni, such as Hormel cup n' crisp
Directions
  1. Let pizza dough stand at room temperature, lightly covered, for 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. Lightly coat a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with olive oil.
  3. TOMATO MIXTURE: Combine tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes in the bowl of a food processor; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Transfer to prepared jelly roll pan, pressing dough to the sides of the pan.
  5. Using a small ladle, spread TOMATO MIXTURE over the surface of the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  6. Top with cheeses and pepperoni (yes, ALL the pepperoni).
  7. Place into oven and bake on the lowest oven rack, rotating once, for 16-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and pepperoni are crisp.
  8. Serve immediately.
