Ingredients

For the Hot Honey Pizza

1 pizza dough ball (store-bought or homemade)
½ cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup sliced pepperoni
2 tablespoons Chimi Boss Blends Hot Honey Blaze
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Flaky sea salt to finish
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Optional Toppings

Crumbled goat cheese or gorgonzola
Thinly sliced prosciutto
Caramelized onions
Fresh arugula added after baking

How to Make Hot Honey Pizza

1) Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 500°F with a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet inside. A screaming hot oven is the secret to a crispy restaurant-quality pizza crust. Let it preheat for at least 30 minutes before baking.

2) Stretch the Dough

On a lightly floured surface stretch your pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Work from the center outward using your hands. Hand stretching creates a better airy crust than a rolling pin every single time.

3) Add Sauce and Cheese

Brush the dough edges lightly with olive oil. Spread pizza sauce evenly across the base leaving a ½ inch border around the edges. Top generously with shredded mozzarella for maximum melt and stretch.

4) Add Your Toppings

Layer pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese. Add any optional toppings at this stage. Keep toppings light — an overloaded pizza will not crisp up properly in the oven.

5) Bake the Pizza

Carefully transfer the pizza onto your hot stone or baking sheet. Bake at 500°F for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling with beautiful golden brown spots on top.

6) Drizzle with Hot Honey Blaze and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven immediately. Drizzle generously with Chimi Boss Blends Hot Honey Blaze. Top with fresh basil leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Slice and serve hot and crispy right away.

Tips for the Best Hot Honey Pizza

• Use maximum oven heat. The hotter your oven the crispier your crust. Always allow a full 30-minute preheat before baking.
- Don't overload toppings. Less is more with pizza. Too many toppings create a soggy crust that never crisps up properly.
- Always drizzle after baking. Add Hot Honey Blaze after the pizza comes out of the oven. Heat destroys the bold flavor of the honey blend.
- Use a pizza stone. A preheated stone absorbs moisture from the dough and delivers a perfectly crispy bottom crust every time.
- Rest before slicing. Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes after drizzling. This keeps the cheese from sliding when you cut it.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover hot honey pizza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the crust crisps back up. Avoid the microwave — it makes the crust soft and chewy. An air fryer at 375°F for 3 minutes delivers the best reheating results every time.
