- Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
- Begin building the pizza by adding the fresh mozzarella cheese followed by the pine nuts. Top with a generous amount of the rainbow chard pizza topping from above. Add Pecorino Romano and drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.
