Wood-Fired Elote Street Corn Pizza
Believe it or not, corn is a very common topping on pizza around the world - except for the United States. What better way to introduce corn on pizza than with a Mexican street food staple that no normal human would refuse: elote. And all of the flavors work exceptionally well on pizza dough.

I bought 15 pizza ovens to hands-on test.It's a hobby, not an obsession! Here are the best pizza ovens.Equipment
- Pizza peel
Ingredients
- 1 270g Neapolitan pizza dough ball
- 1/4 cup Crème fraîche Sub with sour cream
- 3 oz Whole milk mozzarella
- 3 oz Feta or Cotija cheese crumbled
- 1 ear Corn Grilled, then cut off the cob
Spicy Kewpie
- 1/2 cup Kewpie mayo
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
Cilantro Sauce
- 1 bunch (~4oz) Cilantro Some stems are perfectly fine to include
- 1/3 cup Olive oil Extra virgin
- 3 tbsp Sour cream Adds a very slight creaminess to the sauce while thickening it
- 1 Garlic clove
- 1/2 Lime Juiced
- Salt To taste
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
Lime Crema
- In a bowl, whisk in the juice of one half of a lime with the crème fraîche. Add a pinch of sea salt to taste.
Spicy Kewpie
- In a separate small bowl, mix kewpie with sririacha. Pour into a squeezable bottle.
Cilantro Sauce
- Add all incredients to a food processor. Blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a squeezable bottle.
Pizza Time
- Flatten and stretch dough into a 12-13" pie. Holding it up to a window, you should be able to see light through the dough if it's stretched enough.
- Prepare your pizza by spooning lime crema onto stretched dough and then sprinkling feta. Starting from the outside and moving inward, spread a light even layer of mozzarella. Add grilled corn.
- Preheat your Ooni (or other outdoor pizza oven) for at least 30 minutes. The oven should reach near 900F in this time. Using a pizza peel, place pizza in oven and cook for 2 minutes (+/- 30 seconds depending on color) rotating as needed.
- Remove pizza from oven and place on wire rack to cool for 2 minutes. Using your two squeeze bottles (or a spoon to drizzle), drizzle the cilantro sauce and spicy kewpie across the pizza. Slice and serve.
Notes
This is a Neapolitan recipe that uses 00 flour, so high heat is a must; home ovens are insufficient. Be sure to preheat an outdoor pizza oven to 900F before cooking. If you only have a home oven and pizza steel/stone, check out our NY Style recipe which works great with this.
