Instructions

Yields

  • Tomatoes, fresh, sliced: 87%

Pre-Preparation

  1. Wash tomatoes thoroughly under running water, then slice them thinly.

  2. Thaw cheese; store in the cooler until pizza-making time.

  3. Thaw pesto.

  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 5 fl oz pesto.

  3. Spread evenly across each pie with a spatula.

  4. Distribute 12 oz cheese evenly on each crust.

  5. Lay tomato slices evenly over each pie (8 slices per pie).

  6. If preparing ahead or transporting: cover pies with parchment, place pan in a bun pan bag, twist corners shut, load onto speed racks, label, date, and freeze. Transport frozen pizza.

  7. When ready to cook, bake at 375°F for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese begins to brown.

Serving

  1. Just before service, cut each pizza into 10 equal slices with a pizza wheel; use a knife or sharp spatula to finish the edges.

  2. Place the pan of pizza on top of the steam table and serve from the pan. Hold hot until service at 140°F or higher.
    Note: Do not transfer pizza to hotel pans or cover with plastic, as this will make the pizza soggy.
