A classic margherita pizza is one of the simplest pizzas you can make. But with this simplicity comes years of tradition and history related to a peasant dish that the entire world fell in love with.

So if you are looking for a quick eat while watching a movie at home, then you can never go wrong with this one.

Your Ingredients:


1 tbsp of olive oil1/2 pizza crust

2 cloves of finely chopped, roasted garlic

1/4 cup of pizza or tomato sauce

8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/2 inch thick pieces

2 sliced plum tomatoes

A handful of fresh basil

Fresh ground pepper

How to make your classic margherita pizza

Preheat your oven to 475°F.

Now get a small dish and mix your chopped garlic with olive oil.

Set aside and allow the garlic to absorb the oil. Best is to wait for around 15 minutes.

Once done, spread the garlic and olive mixture on your pizza crust.

Now spread your pizza sauce over your pizza crust, add in the mozzarella slices and your tomatoes.

Throw the crust into the oven for 16 minutes until the crust becomes brown and the cheese starts to bubble.

Slice and serve hot.

I really love this recipe! every friday night my family and i have what we call pizza night and we usually just eat frozen pizzas. this was extremely easy and inexpensive to make and was a really delicious and out of the box idea for my families friday night dinner! thank you for this recipe!

That looks better than little cesars pizza, honestly this deserves a lot of attention.

Margherita is absolutely one of my favorite types of pizzas! I love caprese, and this is basically caprese on a pizza! I also prefer thin crust so this is the perfect pizza for me!

You wouldn’t expect thick slices of mozzarella to melt all over the pizza, but it does!

Looks and is delicious! I love pizza, but never have the time to make it. This recipe certainly inspired me to start cooking it. You are a great cook! Thank you!

Delicious recipe! Very flavourful and it is quite healthy as well. I will definitely be cooking this recipe again and again. It was surprisingly easy. This is actually the first pizza I have ever made and I am very proud. The basil was my favourite part. This pizza preserves really well too and I would say is even better the day after.

One of the pizza places here in Edmonton is run by an Italian family that makes authentic Italian pizza. It’s some of the best I’ve ever tasted, in fact. I order the Margherita pizza there sometimes, and I’ve often wanted to make the same recipe at home. This appears to be really similar to the recipe they use. I can’t wait to try it out next time I’m cooking pizza! For the crust, would you recommend 00 flour?

This is one of my favorite, easy recipes to make at home. Although I am curious as to the dough used when making this recipe. I read that you used a pizza dough crust, but do you buy that from the store or do you make your own. This was the only thing I was unclear about, thank you.

i tried it and my company thought I had it delivered, it turned out just like the picture! It was so easy! I`m definitely keeping this one in my recipe book! I love how it required no special ingredients, all stuff I usually keep stocked at home. :)

Lee Galooch#12

I love the idea of spreading the olive oil and garlic on the pizza. I have attempted to make home-made pizza before. May I ask a question? What is the secret to rolling out the dough properly? Also in this recipe, which I can’t wait to try, can you clarify that we are using 1/2 of pizza dough? Thanks.

My partner loves margherita pizza, however I find it very boring. After reading your writing about it I am excited to cook this for him!

Todd#14

Hmm Hmm Hmm Gota love a simple but delicious pizza. Its funny how something so simple can be done so wrong, but this is a classic recipe. I really like the use of Plum tomatoes. I usually go with Romas but now I have to try the plum tomatoes

Cindy said: Perfect Burgers

I love this burger press, it makes the perfect burger every time. I love the non-stick, makes this so easy to use and so easy to clean.

Cindy said: Superior Cutting Board

I love this cutting board. It is a nice size so I can do a lot at one time. I like that it is reversible, that makes this doubly convenient. The one side has a groove the whole way around the edge which catches any liquids so I don't have a mess on my counter. It's quality material and cleans up nicely.

Cindy said: I love these measuring cups

This is such a nice set. I love the sizes, a size for different needs. The 4 cup is great for mixing in as well

Marie said: Grill brush

This grill brush is huge! It makes cleaning the grill so much faster then the tiny brushes that I normally find. I have been using it for a month now and it's still in amazing shape. Will last for a long time

Gene Cantwell said: Chef Remi BBQ Grill Brush

This is my second of this particular brush. I like the first one very much and it lasted through many cleanings. It was also very strong. I have broken some lesser made brushes. My only complaint is that the first one had a hook on it that I could hang in a specific spot on the grill. I ordered this one specifically because I though it would have the hook on the end like it predecessor. Alas, it didn't. We drilled the end and installed a hook ourselves. I would have given it 5 stars had it come with the hook attached. I would suggest not removing the hook for future orders. (It still shows in the picture on the website)
