Description
This Hot Honey Pizza with Non-Prosciutto and Ricotta delivers bold flavor with creamy cheese, spicy-sweet honey, and cured meats — all without pork. It’s a fast, easy, and pork-free pizza recipe baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
1 pizza dough
¼ cup pizza sauce
¼ cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup ricotta cheese
2 pieces beef pastrami style, shredded
4 slices coppa (non-pork cured meat like beef or turkey)
12 slivers thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons hot honey
¼ teaspoon finishing salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your pizza oven until the stone reaches 700°F. If using a home oven, place a pizza stone inside and preheat to the highest temperature for 45 minutes.
2. Lightly flour a wooden pizza peel. Stretch the dough to a round shape, about 11 to 13 inches wide.
3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the dough.
4. Top with mozzarella cheese and spoonfuls of ricotta.
5. Add shredded beef pastrami, sliced coppa, and red onion slivers evenly over the cheese.
6. Ensure the pizza slides on the peel. If not, lift and dust with more flour.
7. Slide the pizza into the oven. In a pizza oven, turn every 15 seconds for an even bake. Bake until the crust is puffed and lightly charred, about 2 minutes total.
8. Remove from the oven and drizzle hot honey evenly over the top.
9. Sprinkle finishing salt if using. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
For home ovens, use a pizza stone or steel and bake for 6–8 minutes on the top rack. Broil during the last 30 seconds for a charred top.
Use non-pork coppa alternatives like beef or turkey versions to maintain the pork-free nature of the recipe.
Adjust the amount of hot honey to match your spice tolerance.
