Why I love this pizza recipe:
- Fresh – You can’t beat the flavor of all of the fresh ingredients on this pizza. The freshly grated parmesan, burrata, sliced tomatoes, and arugula are such a wonderful pairing. Try making it with my homemade pizza sauce.
- Quick – Pizza night is always a winning kid-friendly meal and I love that I can prep the dough in the morning, and make pizza really fast (especially in my Ooni)!
- Delicious – Burrata on homemade pizza may be my favorite thing. If you love burrata, check out my Burrata Salad, or Burrata Appetizer!
How to make Burrata Pizza:
Roll Out Dough: Roll out dough thinly to form a pizza crust. If cooking in the oven, bake pre-bake the dough at 450 degrees F (on a hot pizza stone, or in a pizza pan) for 4-5 minutes. (Pre-bake not necessary if you are using a pizza oven).

Spread Sauce: Spoon a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough. Top with parmesan cheese and a few slices of tomato.

Bake: Bake on pizza stone in oven at 450°F for 5 minutes, or cook in a preheated pizza oven, rotating gradually until cooked and crisp on all sides – usually about 3 minutes. Place on cooling rack.

Recipe Variations:
- Baking Tray: No pizza stone or pizza oven? Use a large baking tray, placed upside down, as a makeshift” pizza stone”. Allow it to preheat and warm up in the oven. Once hot, slide pizza on top to bake.
- Pizza Dough: My homemade pizza dough recipe will make two large pizzas, or use good quality store-bought dough from Trader Joes, Winco, or Whole Foods—which will also be enough for 2 pizzas.
