Instructions

Pre-Preparation

  1. Thaw cheese under refrigeration at or below 41°F and keep cold until pizza-making time.
  2. Make pizza sauce:
    1. Refrigerate diced tomatoes and tomato paste for at least 3 hours before making sauce.
    2. Combine with oil, garlic, parsley, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a large container, in batches if needed.
    3. Blend thoroughly with an immersion blender.
    4. Keep sauce refrigerated until pizza-making time.
  3. Pull only as much sauce and cheese as you need during pizza production.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F at least 15 minutes before baking.

Preparation

  1. Place two crusts side by side on a sheet pan (they will slightly overlap).
  2. Using a measuring cup or ladle, top each crust with 1 cup of sauce.
  3. Spread the sauce evenly with a spatula or bottom of the ladle.
  4. Evenly distribute 16 oz shredded mozzarella on each crust.
  5. Lay pepperoni on each pizza: 24 slices (1.5 oz) per pie so that there are 3 slices or per finished pizza slice.
  6. If preparing ahead or transporting out: cover pies with parchment, place pan in a bun pan bag, twist corners shut. Load onto speed racks, then label, date, and freeze. Transport frozen pizza.
  7. When ready to cook, bake in 375°F oven for about 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese begins to turn golden brown.

Serving

  1. Just before service, cut each pizza into 8 equal slices with a pizza wheel; use a knife or sharp spatula to finish cutting the edges.
  2. Place the pan of pizza on top of the steam table and serve from the pan. Hold hot until service at or above 140°F.
    Note: Do not transfer pizza to hotel pans or cover with plastic, as this will make the pizza soggy.
