Pizza sauce shouldn’t be complicated. Source the best tomatoes you can find and treat them very simply. The tomatoes should be the star; bright, fresh, and just the right balance of acidity. It’s a beautiful thing that something so simple can taste so delicious.
I like to use this sauce as the base for all my red sauce pizzas. I add additional flavors to the sauce such as dried oregano, garlic, and onions directly on the pizza. This method allows you to create a variety of pizza styles with one batch of sauce. Perfect for a pizza party with your Ooni Pizza Oven.

Pineapple may be the most forbidden of all pizza toppings. By who? I’m not really sure, but the haters are out there lurking around or maybe they’re just out for a troll
Pineapple get’s a bad rap. I can think of many more egregious topping choices. No time for hating though, all love now. Love this time in the form of some sweet smoke. When pineapple makes it’s way onto my pizzas it’s rarely in it’s fresh form. My favorite may be pickled but this time I changed it up and stuck a whole pineapple in my smoker above some chunks of pork. It was a pretty good call.
The smoked pineapple is awesome on pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, and of course pizza. Paired with the crowd favorite pepperoni aka roni cup grease chalices of love and countering that sweetness even more with some heat from a jalapeño. This is a super fun pizza! Maybe could even convert some of those pineapple haters. I feel they are still sneaking a slice on the side regardless. Hope you enjoy!

Preheat your Ooni Koda 16 for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza
Begin building the pizza by applying 2-3oz (you just want a thin slick) of tomato sauce (I use a ladle) to the stretched dough. Sprinkle with oregano.
From the crust in begin adding mozzarella, breaking into chunks about the size of a large marble. If using shredded cheese apply a light blanket, don't want to go too heavy on the cheese.
From the crust in top with sliced pepperoni. You want to go big with the ronis, they'll shrink and cup as the bake if you are using a natural casing pepperoni.
Top with smoked pineapple followed by the jalapeños (optional).
Bake in your Ooni pizza oven till fully baked and nicely colored (I aim for a 3-4 minute bake for a more crispy bottom) Watch the video for the real time bake!
Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Slice into 6 slices, serve immediately.
