YIELD
1 PIZZA (8 SLICES)
INGREDIENTS1 PIZZA (8 SLICES)
- 6 slices Jersey Girl Mild or Tangy Pork Roll, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 1 lb fresh pizza dough
- 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Mild works wonderfully with garlic ricotta, while Tangy pairs naturally with hot honey.
PREPARATION STEPS
- 1
Preheat oven with pizza stone or baking steel to 500°F (or highest setting).
- 2
Flash-sear pork roll strips in a pan for 1 minute just to render light oil.
- 3
Stretch pizza dough on parchment paper.
- 4
Mix ricotta with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly over dough.
- 5
Top with mozzarella cheese and seared pork roll strips.
- 6
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until crust is dark golden and cheese is bubbling.
- 7
Drizzle with hot honey before slicing.
JERSEY DINER PRO TIP:
Baking the pork roll strips directly on the pizza crisps up the edges like pepperoni.
