A classic New York style cheese pizza is one of my favorite pizzas to make at home in my Ooni Pizza Oven! The familiar flavors of a plain cheese pizza are alway super satisfying, for many this is the type of pizza you grew up with. While simple, there was never any doubt about including a basic “plain pie” recipe in my new pizza cookbook.

Made with only a few ingredients, the classic cheese slice relies on the right sourcing and and dialing in your baking technique. Most outdoor pizzas ovens are designed for Neapolitan style pizza, this can make New York style pizza at home a challenge.

Thankfully epic New York style pizza at home is possible, even with an Ooni. In the Epic Outdoor Pizza Oven Cookbook I give you the recipes and technique to make pizza parlor classics like a classic N.Y. Style Cheese Pizza. From the basic Plain Pie to the Supreme, I made sure to include the classics.

If you’re struggling with burned pizzas with raw soggy bottom in your Ooni Pizza Oven you’re not alone. It’s the  #1 complaint about Ooni pizza ovens. The good news is the issue can be solved. Be sure to check out my Crispy Ooni Pizza Unlocked video for all the tips!

In the video I’m baking in the Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven. I’m using a 400-gram dough ball of the Classic American Pizza Dough from my cookbook, the Epic Outdoor Pizza Oven Cookbook. My easy no-knead Ooni pizza dough recipe portioned to a 400-grams dough ball could also work here or give sourdough a try with the best sourdough pizza recipe for Ooni Pizza Ovens.
