New York”ish” Style Plain Pie – Plain Cheese Pizza

I love making all sorts of pizzas, but at the end of the day all I want is a plain cheese pizza. May that be Pizza Margherita, plain pie, a slice, whatever name it goes by I’m into it. Tomato sauce, cheese, and a little herb, what’s not to love! So satisfying!

My red sauce pizzas are all topped with the same super simple Basic Tomato Sauce. The only change I make is to the consistency/thickness of the sauce. For a New York style inspired plain pie like this I go on the smoother side of the spectrum using an immersion blender so it is easily applied with the ladle (I use ~3oz for a 12-13in pizza). For a more rustic style Pizza Margherita I may opt for hand crushed. Source the best quality canned tomatoes available to you. I like to keep it OG with organic, California grown. My all-time favorite no question, Bianco DiNapoli Organic Whole Peeled Tomatoes.
