Hot Honey-Drizzled Salami Pizza Recipe - Chisel & Fork (2024)

This salami pizza drizzled with hot honey is a unique, but perfect twist on a traditional pizza that hits the sweet and spicy taste buds. You might never put pepperoni on another pizza again.

Yes I'm posting yet another pizza recipe. I mean when I make pizza every Friday, I'm bound to share quite a few recipes - from broccoli rabe pizza to pumpkin pizza to chicken pepperoni pizza to garlic pizza.

However you might have noticed I don't actually have just a standard pizza with red sauce. Now I wouldn't call this salami pizza traditional, but it does include some homemade pizza sauce.

What puts this pizza over the top is the Mike's Hot Honey. It just gives a great combination of sweet and spicy.

Why This Recipe Works

• Perfect crust - The homemade pizza dough leads to that perfect crust which is crispy and airy at the same time.
• Cheesy - When you have pizza, you expect cheese and you get that with this recipe with three different cheeses.
• Flavorful - If you're a salami fan, you get that in spades but also the additional flavor of the hot honey.

Ingredient Notes

• Pizza dough -While I like to make my own, store-bought dough works fine.
• Pizza sauce -I highly recommend taking the time to make your own homemade pizza sauce but store-bought works as well.
• Cheese - You use mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to get both creaminess and saltiness and ricotta to mix with the heavy cream for a cheese drizzle.
• Finocchiona salami - It is characterized by the use of fennel but you can use any salami you like.
• Heavy cream - Mixed together with the ricotta to make a drizzle. You can also thin out the ricotta with milk or water if you prefer.
• Hot Honey - Look for artisanal or specialty hot honey that combines the sweetness of honey with a noticeable kick of heat. You can find hot honey in gourmet food stores or online. You can also make your own.

FAQs

Equipment

The equipment you use is important to how the salami pizza recipe turns out. What is needed is the following:

• Large bowl - used to mix the for the pizza dough
• Baking sheet - you want a 10x15 sheet pan so it is big enough for the pizza.

Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

• Take the time to make your own dough. My go-to is this no-knead pizza dough.
• Let the dough rest if it won't cover the whole sheet pan before stretching again to fit.
• Don't overdo it with the sauce. Just spread lightly as it is meant to complement the pizza, not be the star.
• Take the time to grate your own cheese. No pre-shredded cheese with this pizza.
• Drizzle the hot honey on the pizza after baking so it doesn't burn.
