I bought 15 pizza ovens to hands-on test.It's a hobby, not an obsession! Here are the best pizza ovens.

Equipment

  • 1 Ooni Koda Pizza Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 batch Detroit Sourdough Pizza Dough, prepared and risen
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups low moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 6 oz. lox or smoked salmon, sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped dill, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup jarred pickled red onion, for garnish
Seriously. I have a lot of pizza ovens.Let me show you the best after hundreds of hours testing. Read my in-depth pizza oven reviews!

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the Detroit-style dough 2 days before making this pizza. Remove your dough from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature for 3 hours.
  • When ready to bake, carefully add your dough to your oiled Detroit-style pan and press to even out. Allow to sit for 1/2 hour.
  • Meanwhile, add the ricotta and cream cheese to the blender with a little salt. Pulse until well-incorporated. Set aside.
  • Preheat your pizza oven to 700-800 degrees F for about 20 minutes so it gets nice and hot. If using a home oven, preheat it to 550 degrees F.
  • Place the dough in the oven to par-bake for 3-5 minutes, then remove.
  • Top the dough with the mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for 4-5 minutes in a pizza oven (lowering the flame or covering the pizza to avoid burning toppings) or 7 minutes in your home oven.
  • Once crisp and cooked through, remove the pizza. Top with dollops of the cream cheese/ricotta mix, then capers, then folds of lox, followed by the dill and pickled red onion.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
