Cacio e Pepe Pizza
Report
Cacio e Pepe Pizza is as simple as the name suggests, a cheese and black pepper pizza. What a phenomenal combo! Pecorino cheese and black pepper, along with olive oil are the base flavors for this pizza recipe. We absolutely LOVE this pizza!

Ingredients
- 1 batch no knead pizza dough use 1/3 of the dough
- 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin, we love MINA olive oil
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 1/2 cups Pecorino cheese grated
- 1/4 cup black peper freshly grated, coarsely grated
Notes
- Plan your dough in advance if using the No Knead Pizza Dough. Otherwise you may use the regular BEST Pizza Dough Recipe. As a last resort, you could totally opt for store bought pizza dough or your favorite pizzeria dough.
- Use quality olive oil to flavor your dough, we love MINA olive oil. Since this recipe relies on very few ingredients, make sure to use quality ones.
- A thin layer of mozzarella cheese is optional, but adds a cheesy stretch which our family LOVES. It's completely optional if you're not looking for that stretch.
- Use quality peppercorns and freshly cracked peppers for this recipe, avoid using pre-ground pepper.
- Bake on a baking steel, baking sheet, or in an outdoor pizza oven--it's just as Perfect because the dough is the best!
- YES! While Pecorino is the classic choice for cacio e pepe pasta, today we're making pizza. We tested a few cheeses and believe any hard, aged cheese works beautifully here. Even Asiago.
- The million dollar question for every homemade pizza recipe! We LOVE the No Knead Pizza Dough for ease, convenience and for it's rustic crust which pairs beautifully with our toppings.
- Since the flavors are super simple here, the sky's the limit! You can make this a meal and serve it along meats and chicken like a Ribeye Steak, Chicken Scallopini, Best NY Strip Steak, Chicken Caprese.
- Or serve it along side a light salad like Wedge Salad, Panzanella Salad, Peach Burrata Salad, Caprese Salad.
