Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well for that perfect crispy crust.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring it retains a slight elasticity for that authentic Neapolitan style.
3. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or the preheated pizza stone, making sure to keep the shape intact.
4. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust to rise beautifully.
5. Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring an even distribution for optimal melting.
6. Arrange the spicy salami slices on top of the cheese, overlapping them slightly to maximize flavor in every bite.
7. Sprinkle chili flakes over the salami to achieve your preferred spice level, adding an exhilarating kick.
8. Drizzle olive oil over the entire pizza to enhance the flavors and assist in achieving that golden crust.
9. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, allowing these spices to elevate the overall dish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to avoid burning your mouth.
12. Garnish with freshly chopped basil before slicing, adding a pop of color and a fragrant aroma.
13. Slice your Diavola pizza and enjoy the warm, spicy goodness with friends and family!
