INGREDIENTS

  • Dough and Base

    • 1 pound fresh pizza dough, thawed

  • Sauces and Spreads

    • 5 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Garlic Spread-Dip
    • 1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce, or as needed
    • 3 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Pesto Genovese

  • Meats

    • 2 ounces sliced Calabrese salami, divided
    • 1 1/2 ounces pepperoni, divided

    • 🧀 6 ounces low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided

  • Herbs

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Remove pizza dough from refrigerator 20 minutes before making pizza. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

3

Spray a metal 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Place pizza dough in baking pan and stretch to reach corners. If dough is hard to stretch and springs back, place a clean kitchen towel over baking pan and let dough relax for 10 minutes until pliable enough to stretch.

4

Spread Garlic Spread-Dip evenly over dough, edge to edge, with a spoon or small offset spatula. Dollop with Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce, and spread evenly over Garlic Spread-Dip.

5

Place 1/2 of the salami and 1/2 of the pepperoni over the sauces; sprinkle with 3/4 cup mozzarella. Top with remaining salami and pepperoni. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.

6

With a small spoon, dollop pesto, about 1/2 teaspoon at a time, over pizza.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until dough has puffed, is golden brown around edges and bottom, and cheese has melted, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating pan back to front halfway through.

8

Using a large spatula, remove from the oven and carefully transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with basil leaves, slice, and serve!

💡 Letting the dough rest makes it easier to stretch.Using pre-shredded cheese saves time but shredding fresh mozzarella may enhance flavor.Rotate the pan mid-baking to ensure even cooking.
