Spicy Soppressata Pizza: Satisfy Your Cravings Today
Spicy Soppressata Pizza is a delicious, bold, and flavorful take on classic Italian pizza, combining the richness of crispy soppressata with the heat of red pepper flakes and jalapeños. The balance of flavors—savory, spicy, and slightly smoky—makes this pizza a favorite for those who enjoy a little heat in their meals. The thinly sliced soppressata, an Italian dry salami, crisps up beautifully in the oven, adding a satisfying texture and deep umami flavor to every bite.
This pizza starts with a homemade or store-bought dough rolled to perfection. A layer of tangy tomato sauce sets the foundation, followed by a generous sprinkling of creamy mozzarella cheese that melts into a golden, bubbly layer. The spicy soppressata is then arranged on top, releasing its rich, meaty flavors as it bakes. For those who love an extra fiery kick, thin slices of fresh jalapeños and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes take the spice level up a notch.
Baked at high heat, the crust achieves the perfect balance of crispy and chewy, making every bite satisfying. The final touch—grated Parmesan and fresh basil—adds depth and freshness, bringing all the flavors together beautifully. Whether you’re making this for a weeknight dinner or serving it at a gathering, Spicy Soppressata Pizza is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Pair it with a glass of red wine or a refreshing beer to complement its bold flavors.

Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Prepare the Dough:
- Stretch the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface, shaping it to your preferred thickness. If using a pizza stone, transfer the dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about ½ inch around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Arrange the soppressata slices evenly across the pizza.
- Add the jalapeño slices (if using).
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and dried oregano.
Bake:
- Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbling.
Finish and Serve:
- Take the pizza out of the oven and top it with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Slice and serve hot.

- Thin Crust Option: Roll the dough thinner and bake for a slightly shorter time to get a crispier pizza.
