Preparation

Oven Temperature: 550-580 degrees

1. To assemble pizza, place 2-oz. of the sauce in the center of each pizza and use a circular motion to spread it to about 3/4-in. from the edge.
2. Distribute cheese evenly and scatter with basil.
3. Drizzle each pie with about 1-Tbsp. of olive oil.
4. Flame Height: 3.6
5. Transfer the pizza onto a large peel and land it just inside the doorway. Once the pizza begins to color nicely on the side closest to the flame (about 2-3 minutes), rotate the pizza using the utility peel, 180-degrees and move it closer to the flame. Once the side closest to the flame colors, and the top and bottom of the pizza is balanced (30 seconds to 1 minute) remove the pizza from the oven using the utility peel. Transfer the pizza to a cooling screen for about 1 minute to prevent steaming and then move it to a cutting board to slice.
