DELIVERY STYLE PIZZA (Most Nostalgic Pizza I’ve Ever Made)
This delivery style pizza recipe is what your childhood pizza dreams are made of. Delivery pizza tasted REAL good when we were kids and (let’s face it) it’s still sort of tasty now, but is it ACTUALLY good? Not usually. Today though, we’re making our own and paying tribute to the Domino’s / Pizza Hut / Little Caesars delivery style pizza that fueled our youth and it’s going to be nostalgic and delicious as heck.

35g 8 1/3 tsp sugar

Into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook measure water, oil, yeast, sugar, flour, and salt. Mix on low for 3 min or until combined. Increase to high speed and continue to mix for about 4 minutes. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and ferment at room temp for 30 minutes. Add 4 stretch and folds as shown @1:44. Cover and let bulk ferment at room temperature for another 30 minutes. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Pre-fold/shape, then round each ball into a taught ball as shown @2:30 and transfer to an oiled sheet tray. Cover and refrigerate for 4-24 hours.
Before you build your pizzas, pull the dough balls from the fridge and allow to temper for about 90 minutes, covered.
PIZZA SAUCE
150g or 2/3c tomato paste
150g or 2/3c water
1g or 1/8 tsp salt
10g or 2 1/3 tsp sugar
10g or 2 1/4 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1g or 1/2 tsp black pepper
1g or 1/3 tsp garlic powder
1g or 1/2 tsp onion powder
Combine all sauce ingredients in a container and blend with an immersion blender.
TO BUILD AND BAKE THE PIZZA:
200g or 2c full fat aged mozzarella, grated
90g or less than 1c aged provolone, grated
finely ground cornmeal (for dusting)
flour (for dusting)
pinch of salt
Preheat oven and pizza stone or steel to 550F/287C for 30 minutes. Dust dough balls and work surface generously with finely ground cornmeal and flour before placing dough on work surface. using your fingertips, work to spread the dough into a large circle from the middle out, making sure to leave a raised border around the perimeter for the crust. Pop any air bubbles. Once the dough is about 8″ in diameter, continue to increase the dough size using the stretch, flip, and rotate maneuver shown @7:25 until the pizza reaches about 12″ across.
Dust a pizza peel with cornmeal, then flip the dough onto the peel. Spread approx 1/4c or 5-6 tablespoons of sauce onto the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2″ border for the crust. Sprinkle with cheese, a pinch of salt, and thinly sliced pepperonis (or other toppings of your choice). Transfer the pizza onto the preheated steel/stone and bake until crust is well browned and cheese is melted and golden (about 7 minutes in my oven, but baking times will vary depending on your oven).
