20 minForget pepperoni night. This pizza is playing in a whole different league.
A blend of pesto and pizza sauce creates the base, then shrimp, scallops, and crab go on top alongside briny anchovies, kalamata olives, and capers for a salty Mediterranean punch.
Smoked mozzarella melts over everything while Parmesan adds a sharp, nutty bite.
A pinch of lemon zest and red pepper flakes right before serving wakes the whole thing up.
Baked on a screaming hot pizza stone, the crust comes out golden and blistered while the seafood stays juicy.
Kitchen Tips
- Use pre-cooked shrimp and scallops so they just warm through in the oven without overcooking
- Smoked mozzarella is the key here because it adds a layer of smoky depth that regular mozz can’t match
- Let the pizza stone preheat for at least 30 minutes so it’s ripping hot when the dough hits it
- Go easy on the anchovy if you’re not a fan, even one fillet adds great umami to the whole pie
