Report
While a traditional red sauce pizza isn’t always my first choice – this tomato cream sauce is incredible and I’m officially hooked.

Instructions
For the pizza sauce:
- Drain the tomatoes and reserve the juice. Add the tomatoes and the tomato paste to a food processor. Pulse until well combined and smooth. Transfer the tomato mixture to a bowl and stir in the garlic, olive oil, oregano, and salt. Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust as necessary.
For the pizza:
- Preheat your oven to 500 degrees. Thirty minutes before cooking the pizza, put your pizza stone in the oven.
- Divide the pizza dough into 2 even pieces. Stretch each piece of dough in a circular motion, then lay them both out on a flat surface and flatten out using a rolling pin. If you have a pizza peel, sprinkle some flour on it and place the stretched out dough on the peel.
- Once your 2 pizza doughs are flat and ready to be cooked, use a spoon to spread about 1⁄3 cup of the tomato cream sauce around the dough leaving a little bit for the crust.
- Top each pizza with equal amounts of the fontina, cooked chorizo, sliced fennel, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Transfer the pizzas into the oven and bake for 12-13 minutes until the crust is golden.
- Remove pizza from the oven. Season with salt and pepper and additional red pepper flakes if needed, slice and serve.
Notes
- Some stores have herbed pizza dough which would pair really nicely here!
