Things to know:

What is the history of pizza?

Pizza evolved from ancient flatbreads topped with ingredients, becoming the modern dish in 18th-century Naples, Italy, as cheap street food for the poor, gaining royal fame with the “Pizza Margherita” in 1889, and spreading globally after WWII, transformed by American soldiers bringing back a taste for it.

What are the most popular pizza toppings?

Pepperoni is consistently the #1 most popular pizza topping in the U.S., followed closely by sausage, mushrooms, extra cheese, and bacon, with onions, green peppers, and black olives also ranking high, while controversial toppings like pineapple and anchovies tend to be more polarizing.

What is the 3/8 rule for pizza?

The “3/8 pizza rule” is a guideline for ordering or cutting pizza, suggesting each person eats 3 slices out of 8 (3/8 of a pizza), assuming a standard pizza cut into eight portions and moderate appetites. It’s a simple formula: (Number of Guests) x 3/8 = Number of Pizzas Needed, helping estimate quantities for parties by planning around 3 slices per person.

Ingredients

 

Large flour tortilla

Olive oil  

Pizza sauce (we used Bonta Brand Pizza Sauce)

Shredded cheddar cheese

Shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese

Your favorite toppings (we used our homemade Italian Sausage , natural casing pepperoni, diced onions, sliced black olives, and mushrooms)

 

1. With a pizza stone in the oven, crank that puppy all the way it will go (550F for us) and let that stone preheat for at least 1/2 hour.

2. Brush a thin layer of olive oil on the tortilla, then spread the pizza sauce on the tortilla, followed by a layer of cheese, then your favorite toppings, then another layer of cheese.

3. Place your pizza on the pizza stone and watch carefully.  Ours got done in about 4 minutes.

4. Remove pizza from the oven, allow to rest for about 5 minutes, then cut and serve.  ENJOY!
