Chris Bianco’s Pizza Rosa in the Ooni Pizza Oven
Recreating the iconic “Rosa” pizza from Pizzeria Bianco at home with in the Ooni Pizza Oven. Thinly sliced red onions, coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano, rosemary, pistachios, and extra virgin olive oil combine to make something that is truly mind blowing in flavor. If you’ve never tried this pizza or flavor combination before you need to make a plan to change that right now. This is the sort of pizza that will change your life. This is why I make pizza. Thank you Chris Bianco for all the inspiration and all you do for the pizza world. One love!
For this bake in the Ooni I’m using the recipe in my easy no knead pizza dough recipe. If you’re using store bought dough check out my video on How to Make Store Bought Dough Awesome.

Chris Bianco’s Pizza Rosa
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano Coarsely grated.
- 1/4 Red Onion Sliced thin on a mandoline
- 1/2 sprig Fresh Rosemary Leaves only, do not chop.

Instructions
- Watch the video for the full how to!
- 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.
- Lightly dress sliced red onions with olive oil and salt, set aside.
- Begin building the pizza by spreading the coarsely grated Parmigiano Reggiano over the stretched dough leaving about 1/2 inch of crust. Top with red onions. Add whole rosemary leaves.
- Bake in your Ooni pizza oven till almost fully baked. Carefully remove from oven and top with pistachios. Return pizza to oven.
- Continue baking till crust is fully browned. I aim for 3-4 minute total bake in my Ooni Pizza Oven. Drizzle with a glug of extra virgin olive oil. Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.
