Margherita pizza from the pizza oven

The classic: crispy, light, and pure Italian delight.

Who is it for?

Serves 2 as a main course, or 4 as a snack or lunch.

Ingredients (for 2 pizzas):

Basic pizza dough (see recipe provided earlier)
150 ml tomato passata
2 balls of fresh mozzarella
1 tbsp olive oil
Fresh basil leaves
Salt and pepper

You will need:

Portable pizza oven
Wood pellets or small pieces of firewood
Pizza stone or steel baking sheet

Here’s how to make it:

Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to at least 400 °C using well-dried fuel. Let the pizza stone get very hot.
Assemble the pizza
Roll out the dough thinly. Spread with passata, leaving the edges free. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and distribute over the sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Baking
Bake for about 60–90 seconds, rotating regularly with a pizza peel for an even crust.
Finishing
Drizzle with olive oil and top with fresh basil as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Tip:

Make sure to drain the mozzarella well before using it, so your crust stays nice and dry and crispy.

Pizza Margherita – simplicity, heat, and flavor in perfect balance.

Fire like a true Pizzaiolo with Giant Flames

A real margherita stands or falls on 2 things: pure ingredients and blazing heat. To reach that 400°C mark and bake a light, airy crust in 60-90 seconds, your fire needs to be good.

Giant Flames pizza wood

Do you have a compact, portable wood-fired pizza oven (like an Ooni)? Then our oak pizza wood is a good choice. This wood is finely split into manageable pieces of approximately 13cm, allowing it to fit seamlessly into the burner box of your portable oven. Because we have professionally kiln-dried the wood, it ignites quickly and cleanly.

Giant Flames Wood Pellets

Does your portable pizza oven run on pellets? Then opt for the smart, sustainable heat of our wood pellets. Our wood pellets feature HD+ quality for raw heat. Because these pellets are produced under extra-high compression and have an extremely low moisture content, they deliver enormous calorific value. Your oven heats up faster and maintains temperature better. Additionally, our wood pellets are PEFC certified, which means they are made from pure, untreated residual wood from responsibly managed forests, without binders.
