Quattro Formaggi Pizza
Quattro formaggi pizza is a classic Italian Neapolitan pizza that brings together the rich and creamy flavors of four distinct cheeses. This heavenly combination combined with a fresh San Marzano tomato sauce and pillowy, charred pizza crust makes for a truly unforgettable pizza experience - right at home!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
- salt to taste
- 2 balls pizza dough See note
- 4 ounces Italian fontina cheese grated
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese torn
- 4 ounces Italian gorgonzola dolce crumbled
- ¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
- extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Notes
- You can use homemade Neapolitan pizza dough or purchase balls of dough from your favorite local pizza shop.
Use good quality, authentic Italian ingredients for the best flavor.
Make sure to let your dough come to room temperature before stretching it out. This will make it easier to work with and prevent tearing.
That oven needs to be piping hot to achieve a Neapolitan-style pizza crust.
Don't use too much pizza sauce, as this can weigh down the dough. A thin layer is all you need.
It's important to dry the fresh mozzarella well so it doesn't make the pizza soggy.
I also prefer to tear the fresh mozzarella instead of slicing it, as it distributes more evenly and gives a creamier texture.
For an extra crispy crust, brush the edges of the pizza with olive oil before baking.
Top with fresh basil or oregano for a burst of fresh flavor!
