These pizzas feature a combination of salty, spicy, tangy and sweet flavors. Pepperoni is the type of chili-spiked salumi that’s easiest to find, but if you can get hot capicola or hot soppressata, they’re also fantastic. Pickled peppers bring vinegary brightness and a drizzle of hot honey after baking layers on more spiciness along with a sweetness that works with the other flavors. Hot honey is sold in most supermarkets, but if it’s not available, finish the pies with a drizzle of regular honey and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes.

Tip

Don’t forget to pat the mozzarella dry after slicing. Removing the excess moisture from fresh mozzarella will help prevent the crust from turning soggy after baking.
