Traditionally Choripán is a sandwich made with grilled chorizo, split down middle on a toasty roll often with chimichurri. The exact preparation and toppings can vary a bit depending on geography. The version I grew up with was served topped with a version of salsa criolla, the amazing and ubiquitous Peruvian condiment.

Remove the parsley leaves from the stems, finely mince the leaves and add to a medium size bowl. Finely mince the small red chili and two cloves of garlic and add to the bowl. Add 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Whisk to combine. Whisk in about 1/4 cup water till the chimichurri is thinned out a bit, it shouldn't be super thick (you may need to use less or add more depending on amount of parsley and desired consistency). Season to taste with about 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and a few cranks of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside till ready to top the pizza. Chimichurri can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or more.
To make the Salsa Criolla
Fill a medium sized bowl with ice cold water. Using a mandoline thinly slice the 1/2 red onion from pole to pole directly into water or thinly slice with sharp knife and add to ice water. Let soak for about 5-10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Cut the small red pepper into thin strips or julienne and add to a medium sized bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add to the peppers. Drain the soaked red onions in a fine mesh colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water, let drain and dry briefly on a few paper towels. Add the red onions to the bowl, add the teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar and about 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste with about 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and a few cranks for freshly ground black pepper. Set aside till ready to top the pizza. Salsa Criolla can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Drain before using.
To make the Pizza
Begin heating your Ooni Pizza Oven on high heat. A full pre-heat of any outdoor pizza oven will take at least 30 minutes on high heat for proper baking and crispy bottomed pizza.
While the oven is heating to make the pizza place a cast iron pan in the pizza oven directly under the flame and let heat for about 5 minutes. Apply a small amount of olive oil to the outside of the chorizo links. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and add the chorizo. Return the pan to the oven and roast on medium-heat till browned and just cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the pan and let cool. Split the chorizo links in half lengthwise and then cut in half crosswise to form chunks about 1-inch in size. Set aside till ready to top the pizza.
Cut the low-moisture whole milk mozzarella cheese and Fontina cheese into 1/2 cubes and combine in a small bowl. Set aside till ready to top the pizza.
When your Ooni Pizza Oven is fully heated stretch the pizza dough to about 14-15 inches. After your dough is stretched turn your pizza oven down to low to let the heat temper while you top the pizza.
Leaving room for the crust to rise top the pizza with the cubes of cheese. Top the cheese with about 1/2 cup of the salsa criolla making sure each slice gets an assortment of all the ingredients in the salsa. Place one piece of chorizo in the center of the pizza and add about 1 piece to to what will be each slice of the finished pizza, 8 slices total. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the chimichurri over the top the pizza.
Turn the heat on your Ooni Pizza Oven to medium high and take the temperature of the stone aiming for for 750-800F in the center. When the stone has reached the proper temperature load the pizza. Let the crust set and look for the cheese to begin to melt a bit all around the pizza before your first turn with your pizza turning peel. Bake the pizza till the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted and the chorizo is charred in some spots.
When fully baked carefully remove the pizza and let rest on a wire rack for about 1 minute. Drizzle generously with more chimichurri and slice on a parchment lined baking sheet or pizza peel. Serve immediately.

The #1 complaint received about Ooni Pizza Ovens is that’s it’s nearly impossible to bake a crispy pizza. The center is always soggy and uncooked while the crust is burned to a crisp. I feel you. This can be a struggle. Rest assured, it can be done and it doesn’t require any hacks, modifications to your oven or any additional purchases. You just need to change the way you bake!
Ooni would like you to believe that your pizza oven is ready to bake in as little as 15 minutes. Sounds a bit too good to be true? If you want a well baked pizza with a crispy bottom of course it is. No home pizza oven is ready to crank out that style of pizza in such a short amount of time. Thermal mass won’t allow it. There is so little in these backyard ovens it will always be a bit of a struggle, but don’t go tossing it on the curb just yet.
The good news is crispy, well baked pizza in an Ooni Pizza Oven is completely within reach. These ovens are made for making pizza at home with your friends and family, it’s time to slow down. No one needs a 60-second homemade pizza. It’s a gimmick and not the makings of delicious homemade pizza.
Learn how to properly preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven to set yourself up for easy crispy bottom pizza baking. Once it’s heated use heat control and tempering techniques to make for a low stress bake. A crispy, no flop pizza slice is possible in affordable home pizza ovens. Watch the video and learn how.
