From Ooni Pizza Ovens: “Unlike lay-flat pepperoni, cup & char (aka cup-and-char, cupping pepperoni, and Old World pepperoni), these slices curl during cooking, elevating any pepperoni pizza to new heights. Their crispy edges rise sky-high, trapping natural juices and delicious flavors released during cooking to form the ‘ronicups seen at some of the world’s most famous pizzerias. Decades ago, most pepperoni was cup-and-char! The lay-flat style seen everywhere today only took over as producers turned to fibrous casings and ways to speed manufacturing. While common on Instagram, this special pepperoni still isn’t widely available—often an ingredient wielded by pros. We turned to Buffalo, New York, a region that never gave up on the original recipe, to bring you this mouth-watering, old-school version, the best cup & char we could find. This versatile topping has a balanced spice level that goes great on New York slices, Chicago Tavern-style pies, New York Sicilian squares, and Detroit-style pizza, but it really complements any style. Add to your favorite pizza base, bake and enjoy.”

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.

The best Eggplant Parmigiana Pizza starts with seeking out the freshest eggplant you can find. For me that means a summer stroll through the amazing Santa Barbara Farmers Market keeping my eye out for something special. For this pizza it’s the Fairy Tale eggplant a miniature variety perfect for pizza, but any fresh eggplant will do. Sticking more to the classic Italian preparation the eggplant is cooked in a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil before topping the pizza with fresh mozzarella cheese and a mixture of fresh tomato, garlic, basil, and olive oil. I throw in a nod to red sauce joint eggplant parmesan by finishing topping the pizza with a generous handful of homemade breadcrumbs. All built on a base of my super easy no knead pizza dough.
