Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2–3 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 300 g pizza dough (store-bought, or the Domino’s-style dough in the Pepperoni recipe on this site)
- Garlic sauce: ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 garlic cloves crushed to a paste, 1 tsp lemon juice
- 100 g pepperoni slices
- 120 g Italian sausage, casings removed
- ½ green capsicum, diced
- 1 tomato, diced and seeded
- ¼ cup kalamata olives, halved
- 200 g mozzarella, grated
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Semolina or flour, for stretching the base
Method
- Heat the oven as hot as it goes (250°C+) with a tray or stone inside. Take the dough out of the fridge 30 minutes ahead.
- Brown the sausage in a pan, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain well.
- Stretch the dough to a 30 cm round on semolina. Spread the garlic sauce edge to edge — the Godfather base is garlic sauce, not tomato.
- Scatter half the mozzarella, then the pepperoni, sausage, capsicum, tomato and olives, then the rest of the mozzarella and the oregano.
- Bake 7–10 minutes until the cheese is blistered and the base is crisp. Rest 2 minutes and serve. Tip: seed the tomato before dicing — the juice makes the base wet — and do not skip the garlic sauce base, it is what makes a Godfather a Godfather rather than a pepperoni pizza.
