MOZZ Sourdough Pizza · Spring 2026
Four new additions to the menu. New flavors, a returning favorite, and something sweet to finish it all off.
Sourdough Pizza
A brand new pizza and a brand new sauce base! The Pink blends cheese, tomato sauce, and cream together to make an indulgent yet simple pie. The cream adds flavor and richness, and the salt in the cheese cuts through it for a balanced bite. Think of it like an elevated cheese pizza, one your taste buds will thank you for.
Sourdough Pizza
This pizza is bright, herby, and rich without being heavy. Pesto as an ingredient hasn't been on the menu in years, and we are so excited to bring it back. This all new white pizza is built around a house-made pumpkin seed pesto, making it completely nut allergy safe. You can also add pesto as a topping to any pizza.
Sourdough Pizza
Hot. Honey. Bacon. Need we say more? Balanced sweet and spicy heat in every bite. Made with house-made hot honey and premium chili flake from Flat Iron Pepper Co.
Sourdough Dessert Bread
Not your basic bread. This all new dessert is sweet, jammy, and just the right amount of indulgent. The blackberry and basil play off each other in a way that feels fresh and layered.

Our Journey So Far
Seven years ago, MOZZ opened in Downtown Provo. It feels like a huge milestone, and we want to celebrate it right with a week-long birthday bash. Flip through below to learn more and read our story.
- Jared N., Co-Founder and Co-Owner, MOZZ
The three founders of MOZZ, Jared, Erin, and Brett, had each spent many years in the restaurant industry. It's where Jared and Erin's paths first crossed, working line cook and serving jobs at Sundance Resort. They married in 2017 and now have a beautiful family, with one son fittingly named Story. Brett had been perfecting his craft at a top-tier pizzeria in Denver, sharpening his skills and culinary vision. All three knew what great food and real hospitality felt like from the inside, and they weren't willing to settle for anything less.
"We landed on sourdough pizza because it demanded exactly the kind of intention we were after. Naturally leavened dough is slow, complex, and unforgiving. There is no shortcut. For five years we also hand-made every ounce of our mozzarella, over 100,000 pounds total. Pizza felt right because it is, simply put, food for the people. Seemingly simple ingredients: flour, salt, and water make dough. Tomato and salt make sauce. Milk, salt, and acid make cheese. These hold extraordinary potential, and we wanted to make it ours."
In 2019, we opened our first location right here in Downtown Provo. What quickly set us apart wasn't just the food. It's the dining experience as a whole that we refuse to cut corners on. We bus your table, offer cloth napkins, and check in on your meal, fixing anything that might be off. These details are often glossed over or lost to time. But us? We obsess over them. Every dining room has been meticulously hand-designed by Erin, with no two locations the same. Right at the center of this kitchen sits our wood-fired oven, lovingly wrapped in 22,222 hand-laid tiles.
Seven years later, we have four locations spanning from Downtown Provo to Salt Lake City, each one a commitment to the community around it. We take care of our staff and invest in their growth. We promote from within. We support local farmers, pour local soda and beer, and platform fellow small businesses. We care about Utah, the local economy, and the people who walk through our door every single day. We will never sell to private equity. We will never settle for mediocrity. This was never just a business. It is the direct result of three people with a deep love for food who refuse to do anything halfway. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for seven years. Our only hope is to serve you for many more to come.

3.14159... We could keep going but you get the idea. In honor of the most mathematical day of the year, here are five facts about pi and pizza that we think fit the holiday.
Coming Soon
We have a wood-fired oven on wheels, ready to show up wherever the people are. Breweries, farmers markets, festivals, community events. If it sounds fun, we want to be there. This summer MOZZ is hitting the road!
Read below for dates & locations.
What's new, what's different, what's next.
Planning an event shouldn't mean spending hours coordinating food, worrying about dietary restrictions, or settling for protein bowls that all taste the same by bite three. You've got enough on your plate (pun intended). We rebuilt our catering from the ground up to make elevated food effortless. Here's what's new, what makes us different, and how to find your perfect package in under 2 minutes.
Still unsure which package fits your group? Let us help ya!
5 questions • Get instant recommendations (the fun way)
Need it fast? We've got you. Pick up orders are available with just one day's notice. Delivery slots open two days out. That said, weekends tend to book 2 to 3 weeks in advance, so if you have a date in mind, lock it in early. Weekdays are usually wide open.
Everyone gets to eat. No exceptions. Our menu includes gluten friendly, vegetarian, and vegan options so nobody at the table feels like an afterthought. Whether you have one dietary restriction in a group of 40 or a whole table of plant based eaters, we have something for everyone.
We only use eco-friendly, compostable packaging that looks as good on the table as it does on your conscience. No flimsy containers, no plastic bags. Just clean, thoughtful presentation that reflects the quality of what's inside.
No guesswork, no overthinking. Our catering menu is intentionally simple. Each package clearly states what you get and how many people it feeds, so you can order with confidence.
At MOZZ our mission statement is simple: to serve amazing food and provide great service, all within an aesthetic environment. Our catering service is no exception. That means scratch made sourdough pizza that speaks for itself, a catering team that is one call away from answered questions and personal delivery, plus packaging that actually looks beautiful on your table.

If you're the person responsible for food orders, you're balancing a lot. Preferences, dietary needs, timing, budgets, and the very real pressure of getting everything right. This guide is here to make all of that easier.
Below are practical tips for choosing the right caterer, planning efficiently, and making the most of your order.
And if you're just here for the free cookies, we get it. Dessert wins every time.
Get promo code & see details here.
Sometimes you’re feeding just a handful of people. Other times, you’re feeding the whole room. If you fall into the latter, don’t panic. You don’t need weeks of prep to get this right. Here’s a simple timeline that works for most office events.
1–2 Weeks Ahead
Choose the restaurant or caterer, set the budget, confirm the menu, and decide on service style (whether that’s buffet or individually selected meals). This is also the right time to place and schedule the order for pickup or delivery.
At Least 72 Hours Ahead
If the order hasn’t already been scheduled, this is your cutoff for finalizing headcount and placing it. Any closer, and you risk unnecessary last-minute complications. This is also a good time to confirm handoff logistics. i.g. Where is the delivery drop-off point? Who is responsible for pickup?
Day Of
Make sure plates, napkins, and any other essentials are ready if they weren’t included with your order. We found that serveware is one of the most commonly forgotten items. If your caterer offers disposable serving utensils, it’s worth adding them (especially for larger, family-style orders).
Food is often at the center of office connection. A few small choices can make the experience feel thoughtful rather than transactional.
Avoid over-customizing
A handful of well chosen options works better than endless modifiers. Simplicity keeps execution smooth and the food consistent.
Include dietary friendly options
You don’t need to accommodate every preference, but having one or two clearly labeled options helps everyone feel considered.
Prep plates, napkins, and serving utensils
These are easy to overlook and essential once food arrives. At MOZZ, we always include enough for the guest count plus 10% extra to ensure coverage.
Order generously
Running out creates more stress than leftovers ever will. If a package feeds 8–12 people and your group is exactly 12, consider padding the order with a few extra sides or add-ons to round out the meal and make sure everyone is covered. Not always needed, but always appreciated.
Plan for sharing
When possible, avoid everyone ordering individual dishes. Rounding up individual orders gets complicated. Family-style catering encourages conversation, keeps things relaxed, and makes the meal feel more communal.

Jared is a co-founder and co-owner of MOZZ, and his leadership has been instrumental to its success. With a background in fine dining and a sharp eye for all things restaurant, Jared brings something essential to the table: good food, done right.
If you were a customer back in the day when the first MOZZ location opened it’s doors, you definitely saw him manning the wood fire oven. He could toss a pie in his sleep. Actually, he can make a whole pizza blindfolded. (This isn't a joke. We’ve seen him do it.)
But Jared’s effort goes far beyond the kitchen. He’s the kind of person who always stands up for the team, makes space for people, and genuinely cares about each guest's experience.
Since his son Story was born, Jared’s stepped into a new role: dad life. And he wears it well. We asked him is favorite dad joke, he said:
"Why did the dad bring a ladder to the restaurant?
Because he heard the food was on another level!"
We’ll let that one linger and move on. Story is an amazing almost-two-year-old with enough sass to run the place. We’re not saying he’s in charge... but we’re also not not saying that.
So now that you know a bit more about Jared, let’s hear from someone who knows him best—his wife and fellow MOZZ co-founder & co-owner, Erin:
“Jared is everything I didn’t know I needed, and more than I ever knew I wanted. Sincere, determined, clever, selfless, romantic, bold, and handsome. These are the exact words from my vows. Looking back, they’re also the qualities I hope to pass on to our child. Thankfully, Story has the perfect example in Jared. We are so incredibly lucky to do life with ‘Dada,’ and I truly can’t imagine it any other way.”
– Erin, Co-Founder & Co-Owner, MOZZ
MOZZ has been shaped by some truly incredible people, and we feel proud to have built something rooted in care, intention, and a whole lot of heart. Jared’s vision and leadership have played a huge role in that. But it doesn’t stop with us.
From ours to yours, we want to thank the fathers, father figures, and all the parents who show up, support, and make it all work.
Happy Father’s Day! – XOXO MOZZ
Because you’re a reader of The Inside Slice, you get first dibs on our Father’s Day gift card deal! Use code ‘FATHERSDAY25’ to get a $125 MOZZ gift card for just $100. E-gift cards deliver instantly, can be scheduled ahead of time, and you can even add a custom message.

At MOZZ, June is a time to reaffirm to our community the values we hold close — inclusion, kindness, and making sure everyone feels like they belong. You’ve probably seen the Pride flag outside our storefronts year-round, and MOZZ co-owner Jared put it best:
We believe allyship isn’t just about words — it’s also about action. That’s why we regularly support our good friends at Encircle, a Utah-based nonprofit providing life-saving resources and community for LGBTQ+ youth and families. We’re also so excited to be neighbors with Equality Utah in none other than Milk Block SLC — a thoughtfully restored community hub that proudly stands on Harvey Milk Boulevard.
It’s hard to imagine a better place for our next chapter. Milk Block was created in honor of Harvey’s legacy, and we plan to echo those same values he stood for. We’re here to serve excellent pizza, always — and if we can make people feel a little more welcome while we’re at it, why wouldn't we?
For support or education on all things LGBTQ+, check out The Trevor Project — an incredible nonprofit with a wealth of resources. If you'd like to support Encircle or Equality Utah, they're always grateful for donations or volunteers.

Tile is in! Countertops are being installed, and our new downtown Salt Lake City location is getting all the final touches that make it feel like MOZZ.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Harvey Milk was a groundbreaking civil rights leader and the first openly gay elected official in California. Born in 1930, Milk spent much of his early life hiding his identity, but by the 1970s, he emerged as a fearless advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. After moving to San Francisco, he opened a camera shop in the Castro District—a space that quickly became a community hub. In 1977, Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, where he fought for housing rights, anti-discrimination laws, and broader equality. His life was tragically cut short in 1978, but his voice and vision sparked a movement that continues to inspire generations.
On May 22nd, we take a moment to reflect on Harvey Milk Day and the values we share—a world where everyone feels safe, seen, and welcomed.
This year, that reflection feels especially meaningful. We’re opening a brand new MOZZ location in Salt Lake City’s Milk Block, a downtown space named in Harvey’s honor. The name comes from two places: the legacy of Harvey Milk himself, and the block’s location at the corner of 400 East and Harvey Milk Boulevard. That street earned its name back in May of 2016—a landmark moment for Salt Lake City and the state of Utah. It marked a turning point. One that took open hearts, mutual respect, and a shared belief that all people, no matter who they are, deserve to be welcomed and celebrated.
At MOZZ, we carry that same spirit—creating spaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and at home. Opening at Milk Block means more than just a new location. It’s our way of honoring the legacy beneath our feet and building on it with care.
Doors open this summer, and we couldn’t be more excited.
-XOXO MOZZ
Happy Mother's Day! To help celebrate, we asked our team to dig up some throwback photos with their moms. Scroll on for baby pics—but be warned: adorable outfits and vintage greatness ahead.
Huge thanks to the amazing moms (and our team!) for sharing these sweet moments.
Bonus points if you can guess who the three owners are: Erin Henriod, Jared Neiswender, and Brett Ramuno.
Erin is one of the co-owners of MOZZ and the creative mind behind its atmosphere—from every design choice to the high standards we hold for hospitality. If you’ve ever been to the Provo location, chances are you’ve met Erin. She’s probably served you, checked on your table, or just stopped to chat. Her vision for what MOZZ should feel like is still the standard we hold ourselves to today.
She’s also the proud mom of Story, her almost-two-year-old. Story was brought into the world with the help of their incredible surrogate, Claire. He's already clocked more time in a pizza kitchen than most adults, and we’re proud to call him our little MOZZ mascot.
Now that you know a little more about Erin, let's hear from someone who knows her best—her husband and MOZZ co-owner, Jared:
“She builds beauty into everything, from the
restaurant to our little family. Watching her lead,
create, and care the way she does is something else.
Story and I are just lucky we get front row seats to it all.”
MOZZ is proud to have been shaped by some pretty amazing women—and we feel lucky to have built such an empowering space for our team, shaped by Erin’s vision. But it doesn’t stop with us. From our fam to yours, we would like to extend our thanks. Thank you to the women who lead, support, and bring heart to everything they do.
Happy Mother’s Day! – XOXO MOZZ
Moms love pizza, true fact. And if you're reading this, there's probably someone in your life who loves MOZZ too. If you're still figuring out what to get for that someone- be that your mom, wife, partner (or even yourself), a gift card might just be the cherry on top. We're not saying this should be the only gift. But as a little add-on? As the thing that says "let me take you to lunch" or "next dinner's on me"? It's kinda perfect. Here's another true fact: nobody's ever been mad about free pizza.
(Deal ends May 14th) Now, because you're a reader of The Inside Slice, you get exclusive access to our Mother's Day gift card offer: Use code 'GCMOMDAY' to get a $125 MOZZ gift card for just $100. E-gift cards deliver instantly, can be scheduled ahead of time, and you can even add a message."Happy Mother's Day from your favorite child"... Real subtle.
(If you are having trouble redeeming, follow these steps.)
We pulled together a few of our favorite bookstores across Northern Utah, including some personal go-tos:
If you're looking for something simple but solid, lunch at MOZZ is a great call. We're totally easy (no reservations needed), and the food comes out fast. To top that, you're still getting a full artisan meal, made fresh with sourdough crust, house-made sauces, and real ingredients. Plus the killer service you know and love, no bussing stations here! We'll clear your table, check in to ensure everything is to your liking, and anything else you might need during your time here. All in all, it's a nice way to squeeze in some time together. You bring the good company, we'll provide the good food.
Ground to Earth is a local favorite for a reason—it's cozy and beautifully designed. The vibe is great and the service is fast, making it the perfect coffee shop to take your coffee date to.
Located in the heart of downtown Daybreak, they are dog-friendly, women-owned, and more than just coffee. They carry a thoughtful selection of small goods: stickers, jewelry, and Ground to Earth-branded swag like tees or tumblers (and a great place to pick a little something out together during your coffee chat, no guesswork needed).
Bonus: they're hosting a coffee & permanent jewelry pop-up on May 10th in honor of Mother's Day.
Foxglove is one of those rare places where everything feels thoughtful. Their custom floral arrangements are what first put them on the map. Their work is designed with care, always seasonal, and anything but generic.
But it's not just about the flowers. The shop itself is full of small treasures—handmade jewelry, artisan goods, well-curated stationery, antique finds, and a rotating selection of local maker products.
Foxglove has been serving Utah County for over a decade. The vibe is welcoming, the staff knows their stuff, and it's one of the easiest places in town to find something that feels just right. Whether you're building a gift box or grabbing a little extra something to go with your MOZZ gift card, this spot delivers.
Throwing your own celebration? MOZZ caters across Utah Valley. Let us handle that big family dinner you have coming up—or the luncheon you're hosting.
No stress, sure to impress. Orders are available for pickup or delivery.
Due to high demand, all orders must be placed at least one day in advance.

Myth: The crust is burnt
Reality: Those are leopard spots—and yes, you want them
What are Leopard Spots?
Those little charred bubbles on the crust—known as leopard spots—are a signature of well-made neapolitan-style sourdough pizza. They're created by the high heat (750°F+) of an oven and indicate proper fermentation, hydration, and dough handling. Leopard spots mean the crust is light, airy, and full of flavor—not burnt! It's a mark of craftsmanship and one of the reasons neapolitan-style sourdough pizza is so special.
Reality: Sourdough is easier to digest—and can even be gentler on those sensitive to gluten
Sourdough fermentation isn’t just about flavor—it’s about function. During the slow fermentation process, natural bacteria and wild yeast break down gluten and phytic acid, which can make the dough easier to digest. While sourdough isn’t gluten-free, many people with mild gluten sensitivity find it gentler on their system compared to conventionally made dough. Plus, that long ferment helps develop deeper flavor and a lighter, airier crust. It’s a win-win for your taste buds and your gut!
Myth: Veggie pizzas are boring
Reality: Forget the stigma—veggies can be bold, flavorful, and seriously delicious
Who says veggies pizzas have to be boring? When done right, they're anything but. Our Roasted Cauliflower pizza is proof—topped with house-made creamy ricotta, gouda, caramelized onions, garlic confit, fresh thyme, and perfectly roasted cauliflower florets.
It's savory, super satisfying, and full of bold, balanced flavor. Veggies have seriously never looked (or tasted) this good.
Here are our top 3 off-menu picks—and why they're worth adding to your next order for something a little different.
Speck Pizza - Hold the Speck Sub Mushrooms
🏆 - Top Pick for Vegetarian Pizzas
This pizza is a top pick because the mushrooms add a rich, earthy depth that balances beautifully with the creamy ricotta and mozzarella. The garlic confit brings a subtle sweetness, while the lemon zest and arugula add brightness and a fresh, peppery kick, creating a well-rounded and flavorful profile that is perfect for anyone looking for a tasty non-meat option.
Ingredients
- Ricotta Cheese
- Garlic Confit
- Mozzarella
- Crimini Mushroom
- Parmigiano
- Lemon Zest
- Arugula
Cauliflower Pizza - Add Honey and Bacon
🏆 - Top pick for White Pizzas
This pizza is a standout on our white pizzas lineup. Roasted cauliflower florets add a flavorful, satisfying bite, while creamy ricotta and melted gouda create a rich, velvety base. Garlic confit and caramelized onions bring depth and sweetness, balanced by the brightness of fresh thyme. A drizzle of honey and smoky bacon tie it all together, creating a perfectly balanced mix of sweet, savory, and aromatic flavors. It's a next-level combo that keeps us coming back for more.
Ingredients
- Ricotta Cheese
- Gouda Cheese
- Roasted Cauliflower Floret
- Bacon
- Garlic Confit
- Caramelized Onion
- Fresh Thyme
- Local Honey
Cheese Pizza - Add Sopressa, Calabrese & Bacon
🏆 - Top Pick for Meat Pizzas
This pizza starts with our classic Cheese as the base, then gets a serious upgrade with Sopressa Salami, Calabrese Salami, and crispy Bacon—making for a rich, savory bite every time. Melted mozzarella and Parmigiano over our fresh tomato sauce create the perfect foundation, while the trio of meats adds bold, crave-worthy flavor. It's a favorite of the owners and a must-try for anyone looking for a heartier, more indulgent pizza.
Ingredients
- Tomato Sauce
- Mozzarella
- Parmigiano
- Sopressa Veneta Salami
- Calabrese Salami
- Bacon
Thank you to everyone who submitted their thoughts to us!
Q: What sources did you use to find out how to get funding?
A: “Honestly, the path for us was pretty simple—we mostly relied on self-funding and were lucky to have some amazing people in our lives who believed in us and wanted to help us chase our dream. We’ve worked really hard to get where we are today. In the early days, we were running our first location from open to close, just the three of us. We had to get creative more than a few times, especially when we found out on our one-year anniversary that we had to shut down because of COVID. At the end of the day, it’s really just been about taking the leap, learning as we go, and doing our best to figure it all out along the way.”
Q: Why deny me the brussels sprout pizza this past winter? Also: Are we getting the asparagus pizza soon?
A: “Totally hear you on the Brussels Sprout Pizza—we loved it too! We like to keep things interesting around here, so you’ll see the menu rotate from time to time. This past winter, the Leek Pizza ended up being the one for us, so we decided to give it a permanent spot (albeit a seasonal one). But don’t worry, the Brussels Sprout could always make a reappearance someday. And yes—the Asparagus Pizza is coming back very soon, and hopefully even better than before. Just between us (and, okay, anyone reading this), we’re adding a Lemon Oil Chimichurri to it this time. It’s gonna take it to the next level… but you didn’t hear it from me.”
Q: Why pizza over other foods?
A: "I knew I loved sourdough bread and wanted to do something with it, but I wasn’t exactly sure what. Erin, Brett, and I were kind of stumped. We knew we wanted to open a restaurant, but we couldn’t quite figure out how to bring it all together. Then one night on a camping road trip, we made some cast iron, wood-fired sourdough pizza for dinner and it just clicked. Six years later, we’re still so grateful we followed that spark, and we couldn’t feel more confident in the decision we made."
Q: Bring back the Mac & Cheese!!!
A: “We hear you—the Mac & Cheese definitely had its fan club! If you know, you know… we actually brought it back as a special at our Daybreak location not too long ago. No plans for a full comeback just yet, but if that changes, you’ll be the first to know! In the meantime, is there anything else you'd love to see from us? We’re always open to ideas!”

1. Start With Quality Dough
Great pizza starts with great dough. Whether you're making your own or using our handcrafted sourdough, the quality of the dough makes all the difference.
At MOZZ, we cold ferment our dough for three days, allowing it to develop a rich flavor and perfect texture—creating the ideal foundation for an amazing pizza.
2. Bring Your Dough to the Perfect Temperature
Cold dough is tougher to stretch and more prone to tearing. To make shaping your pizza easier, let it rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours before working with it. This allows the dough to relax, making it much more pliable and easier to handle.
3. Preheat Your Oven (And Use a Stone!)
For that perfect pizzeria-style crust, crank your oven up to 500°F (or as hot as it goes). We bake our pizzas at 750°F for that flawless bake, but this will do the trick! Let your pizza stone preheat for at least 60 minutes. No stone? No worries! Just flip over a baking sheet and use the back as your makeshift pizza stone (do not preheat). The intense heat mimics a woodfire oven, giving your crust that golden perfection.
💡 If you're using sourdough, the sugars will caramelize while baking and give you beautiful leopard spots through your crust.
4. Stretch, Don’t Roll
When shaping your dough, skip the rolling pin! Use your hands to gently stretch the dough—this keeps the air bubbles intact for a light, airy crust. Rolling it out with a pin can crush those pockets, making the pizza dense. Just let the dough naturally expand with a little love and patience for the best results.
💡 Check out the graphic below for our favorite way to stretch dough! Create an even ring for your outer crust (about 3/4 of an inch), and stretch the dough as close to that edge as possible. Skip any thin spots and focus on making a smooth, even base.
5. Distribute Your Sauce Evenly
When spreading your sauce, make sure it’s evenly distributed across the dough for a consistent flavor in every bite. Too much sauce in one spot can make the crust soggy, while uneven coverage can leave some bites too dry, or even burn a hole in your base!
6. Use Quality Cheese
We recommend using low-moisture cheese as it helps prevent excess moisture from making the crust soggy, ensuring a better texture for your thin-crust pizza. Lastly, skip the pre-shredded cheese; it’s packed with anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting properly. Fresh mozzarella melts beautifully, giving your pizza that classic, stretchy texture. For an extra burst of flavor, we recommend finishing with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh parmesan after baking!
💡 If you're feeling adventurous, try mixing different cheeses! Our favorites are ricotta with gouda or mozzarella. Try a cheese blend like this to create a rich, creamy white pizza base!
7. Be Intentional With Toppings
Resist the urge to pile on a mountain of toppings... less is more! Overloading your pizza can lead to a soggy crust. Stick to a few high-quality toppings: a thin layer of sauce, a generous amount of cheese, and just the right amount of fresh ingredients. This ensures a crispy, well-cooked crust with a perfect balance of flavors.
8. Perfect Your Pizza Transfer
If you want to avoid the dreaded pizza flop when transferring to your oven, use a pizza peel. Sprinkle a little semolina or flour on the peel for easy sliding. Make sure you use quick and fluid movements. Don’t have a peel? No worries! Simply use the back of a baking sheet (yes, the baking sheet is an almighty hack for at-home pizza baking).
9. Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Try not to take your pizza out too early. Wait until the crust is evenly crisp and the cheese is fully melted. Your toppings can get crispy, and that’s no problem! You can always lift one side of your pizza mid-bake to check that the bottom isn’t burning.
💡 Heavy pizzas put more weight on your base, and too much weight can lead to burning! Be sure to evenly distribute your toppings to help achieve a perfectly cooked crust.
10. Lastly, The Secret to Creating Elevated, Gourmet Pizzas
Some of the best, freshest flavors come after the pizza’s baked. We call these “Finishing touches.” Finishing touches right after baking elevate your pizza with bursts of flavor and a vibrant look. For example, cooked herbs lose some of their fresh, aromatic punch. Fresh herbs add a bright, fragrant richness that makes the pizza truly pop. Fresh veggies can also add a satisfying crunch, or a topping like crème fraîche can add a refreshing creaminess that complements the warmth of the pizza. These touches are what make your pizza feel gourmet!
💡 Some of our favorite touches we are currently using include fresh lemon zest, a drizzle of honey, or a few fresh basil leaves!
Our last tip for a killer pizza night:
You're now a pizza pro! We've all been there—sometimes, dough doesn't turn out as expected. If you'd rather save the time and effort, we've got you covered with fresh, ready-to-use sourdough pizza dough.
Let us handle the hard part. And if you're short on time (or patience), you can always order MOZZ for takeout or delivery—we'll have a hot, fresh pizza ready for you.
We've got the perfect pizza-inspired date idea to share!
Drum roll, please... A picnic!
Okay, we know it's not the most groundbreaking idea, but hear us out. With National Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day coming up, a picnic is a great way to celebrate! The weather is warming up, spring is just around the corner, and what better way to kick off the season than with a fun girls' lunch or a cozy park date featuring some delicious pizza?
So grab your favorite pie, pack a blanket, and enjoy the fresh air!
Your math teacher would agree—pi is essential! Pi Day is coming up on March 14th, so why not celebrate with 3.14 slices? Or better yet, skip the fractions and enjoy a whole pie all to yourself!
