Why our recipe?
- A quick mix of cilantro, lime and green chiles forms the base of the sauce and brings out all the flavors.
- Top with shredded chicken, mozzarella and sweet onion.
- Make it because you won't be sorry.
The best pizzas are baked in a pizza oven, and on Pizza Day we talk about installing a pizza oven at The Collaborative. Pizza ovens are extremely hot (over 800 degrees Fahrenheit) so pizzas bake hot and fast giving you a crispy crust with delicious melted cheese. It's still possible to make a restaurant-quality pizza at home, but you've got to know the tricks. Allow us to educate you.
