Pizza Dough
The Pizza Dough used here is the Overnight Pizza Dough. Which yields about, 1500g of Pizza Dough and will walk you through on how to make it and prepare it for assembly.
For the 3 on 3 Pizza Combo, each medium pizza is 454g per portion. This can be stretched to 500g for a thinner large Pizza. Either way, this recipe can accommodate the 3 Medium Pizza with 3 Toppings or 3 Large Pizzas with 3 toppings.
Sprinkle a bit of flour over the dough if it is too sticky to handle.
3 Medium Pizzas with 3 Toppings
The 3 Medium Pizzas with 3 toppings Combo portions out the 1500g of Pizza Dough into 3 × 454g sizes. This results in your standard size 12 inch pizza. You could portion these out at about 350g for thinner medium pizzas and use the leftover dough to make either Garlic Fingers or Twisty Bread.
3 Large Pizzas with 3 Toppings
The 3 Large Pizzas with 3 toppings Combo portions out the 1500g of Pizza Dough into 3 × 500g sizes. It results in a thinner, but larger pizzas.
Pizza Sauce
Most Pizzas will use the Standard or Classic Pizza sauce, and we have a few to choose from below. Other specialty Pizzas will require a different sauce, that will need to be made up in advance.
Pizzeria Cheese
Saputo’s Mozzarella Cheese is the best pizzeria style cheese you can get. Even better is the 3:1 combination of Shredded Saputo’s Mozzarella Cheese & Shredded Provolone Cheese.
Use a food processor to quickly shred the Saputo’s Mozzarella Cheese and place into a freezer bag. Do the same for Provolone and place into a separate Freezer Bag. Then in a third freezer bag combine 3 C of Mozzarella & 1 C Provolone and mix well. All three of these bags can go into the freezer and used directly when assembling the pizzas.
In some cases a small amount of shredded Cheddar Cheese is desired and this can be shredded by itself and placed on the pizza during assembly. This can include other cheese like Parmigiano or Asiago Cheese, although these are better off sprinkled on after the pizza comes out of the oven.
Hand-Tossed Pizza
When the pizzas are ready, place them on a heavily cornmealed surface, then shape and hand-toss them to the desired size. Sprinkle a bit of flour on top if the dough feels too sticky to handle.
Work with one at a time and keep the dough covered while you prepare and assemble each pizza.

413 Pizza Cook Method
The 413 Pizza Cook Method is by far the best method for cooking pizza with a home oven. Start by preheating the oven with one rack position at the very bottom with a pizzas stone. Place the other oven rack in middle position and preheat to the highest setting, your oven will go. While you prepare everything else and your dough is rested on the counter.

There are all kinds of things or combination to make a Pizza Shake to garnish your Pizza. Some ideas are below.
- Cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano, Asiago, Romano
- Chili Flakes: Red Chili Flakes, Aleppo, or Gochugaru
