No matter who wins the World Cup if you make this pizza you will be a champion. Inspired by one of the world’s greatest sandwiches, Choripán, this Chorizo and Chimichurri with Salsa Criolla Pizza scores every time. 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. For this pizza I combine my favorite elements of this top tier sandwich and put it on a batch of my homemade pizza dough, the result, a pizza of world cup championship deliciousness.
In the video I’m baking the pizza in my Ooni Karu 16 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven. My favorite of the Ooni Pizza Oven lineup. For cooking the chorizo I used Ooni Cast Iron Sizzler Pan. Support the creation of more free recipes and content by purchasing Ooni products through my links! Thank you! One love!

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.
