Top quality homegrown heritage tomatoes with a good homemade tomato sauce and pesto. Pizza perfection at its most humble. I love this combination with a small twist of sorrel pesto alongside the basil.
Method
Preheat your pizza oven to 375˚C and roll out your dough. Place onto a floured peel and start by spreading tomato sauce around the pizza base with the base of the spoon.
Blitz your sorrel pesto until smooth and season to taste to with lemon and sea salt.
Next arrange mozzarella, sorrel pesto and sliced heritage tomato.
Bake your pizza in the pizza oven for 2-3 mins turning every 30 seconds or so for an even crust.
Remove from the oven and top with freshly chopped basil. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and cracked black pepper.
This pizza was baked on the Alfa Forni 5 Minuti. For more information and prices, click here.

Stone Baked Pissaladiere with Smokey wood-fired Onions! Pissaladiere is one of my absolute favourites. It’s a sort of pizza/tart hybrid flavoured with sweet caramelised onions, black olives and anchovies - hailing from Liguria but most often associated with the south of France. A Pissaladiere is perfect as pre-dinner finger food with a glass of bubbles [...]
Shawarma Jackfruit and Baby Aubergine Pizza! I love the layers of shawarma spice that warm this pizza and complement the wood-fired crust. Serve with freshly chopped mint or coriander on top or a generous spoon of labneh on the side. It also makes a great vegan pizza option without the mozzarella. Method Preheat your [...]
Sicilliana Olive and Anchovy Pizza Pizza! For me the combination of sweet, briny olives with salty anchovies is rustic delight. The intense pops of flavour in each mouthful rise and fall with milky melted mozzarella and a rich spiced tomato sauce. It’s a moorish pizza that leaves you guessing with each bite. Method [...]
