Pizza Marinara Recipe

I bet you wouldn’t think a pizza without cheese could be one of the best types of pizza! But you would be wrong. Pizza Marinara is a classic Neapolitan pizza, and probably the first style of pizza served in Naples.

Pizza Marinara ingredients

• One Neapolitan pizza dough ball (recipe for authentic Neapolitan pizza dough)
• 80g Neapolitan pizza sauce (recipe for Neapolitan pizza sauce)

Pizza Marinara toppings

• 1-2 sliced cloves of garlic
• 5g of extra virgin olive oil
• A small drizzle of dried oregano

Instructions: How to make Pizza Marinara

1. Stretch out the pizza dough.
2. Spread the sauce evenly throughout the pizza base using a spoon starting from the center of the pizza. Make sure to leave half an inch at the edge of the pizza without sauce to create a nice edge (“cornicione”) that will puff up in the oven.
3. Add the slices of garlic evenly throughout the pizza.
4. Sprinkle over some dried oregano
5. Drizzle over the olive oil.
6. Bake the pizza for 60-90 seconds at 850°F (450°C). Alternatively, bake on a preheated pizza steel in your home oven for 4-8 minutes at the hottest setting.
