Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Pizza dough (1 (store-bought or homemade))
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Dijon mustard (3 tablespoons)
  • Pastrami (8 ounces, sliced)
  • Dill pickles (1 cup, sliced)
  • Mozzarella cheese (2 cups, shredded)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, typically about 12 inches in diameter for a standard pizza.
  3. Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to create a crispy base.
  4. Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the dough, ensuring to cover the surface but leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Layer the sliced pastrami evenly over the mustard. Next, add the dill pickle slices on top of the pastrami.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the toppings, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the preheated oven or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
