12 essentials for perfect pizzas on the patio

We’re big fans of the classics: authentic pizza flour from Italy—pizza sauce made there, too—and toppings you can really sink your teeth into, including briny olives and meaty mushrooms that bring must-have umami. The combinations you can create with just a few excellent ingredients will blow your mozzarella. Like Nonna says, if you’re going to do it, do it right!  

Double-zero is a white, super fine-milled Italian flour, made especially for a quintessential pizza crust: blistered and crispy outside, a soft chew inside. Don’t do dough without it.

Respect the Kalamata: a hunky, dark brown olive packed in red wine vinegar and named after the Grecian city of the same name. And we swear on the gods they’re pizza topping royalty. 

Want to make your pizza really nice? This traditional pizza sauce stars sweet, flavourful tomatoes, kissed by the Italian sun (there’s just something about it), extra virgin olive oil, herbs and spices.

Older than a white button, younger than a portobello, cremini are perfectly age-appropriate for pizza. They deliver mild, nutty flavour, umami savouriness and a firm, meaty texture that gives pepperoni a run for its money. 

With shredded cheese, you get the benefit of even melting on your creations—plus no scrubbing a cheese grater (IYKYK). Our mozzarella matches any pizza and is also perfect eaten out of the pouch.

Crust is king. Made from finely ground Italian flour and extra-virgin olive oil, our pizza dough produces a restaurant-quality soft and chewy crust while still putting homemade pizza power in your hands. Each pack comes with two balls—simply roll, sauce and bake.

If you don’t know what cup and char-style pepperoni is, prepare yourself. These pepp slices curl up and crisp around the edges as they cook, instead of lying flat—literally taking your pepperoni pizza into another dimension.
