This Homemade Margherita Pizza is super easy to make, super delicious, requires 4 ingredients, and is ready in about 15 minutes or less!
Welcome back to another Pizza Friday. This week we got the best Homemade Margherita Pizza!!! It’s so good, easy, and 100% delicious! You only need 4 ingredients, and it’s ready in about 15 minutes or less!
Fresh mozzarella cheese is the best! Preferably good-quality cheese and not grated cheese. Try to avoid these cheeses when making homemade pizza. They are filled with an anti-caking agent, and it keeps the cheese from reaching its fully gooey potential! Plus, shredding cheese directly from the block is really easy and more affordable. The texture of freshly grated cheese is noticeable when it melts.
Our go-to mozzarella cheese is Belgioioso Fresh Mozzarella Cheese. It’s fresh, and when melted, it has a nice texture and flavor. Occasionally we will also add freshly grated smoked mozzarella cheese for additional flavor. If you haven’t tried this combo yet, get on it! You will be hooked and will always add both regular and smoked mozzarella cheese to your homemade pizzas!
We selected a Pinot Noir to pair with this Margherita Pizza. The light-bodied and fruit-forward of the Pinot complement the tomatoes and mozzarella perfectly. Every sip after each bite enhances the flavor more and more, making it a perfect match.
The wine we selected is from Silver Crest Cellars, located within the Grand River Valley Wine Region in Ohio. Any Pinot Noir would pair nicely with this pizza.
Don’t forget to make the best overnight pizza dough to go with your pizza Fridays! We hope you love this pizza! Enjoy!
