Cooking Instructions

Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 5 minutes

Servings: 1 to 2

Notes:

Scallops, crabmeat, or octopus can be used alongside or in place of the prawns, squid, mussels, and clams.

Mozzarella can be added if desired, though authentic Italian seafood pizzas typically omit cheese to let the marine flavours shine.

Store-bought pizza dough can be used in place of sourdough pizza dough to save time.

Prep and Par-Cook the Seafood
Clean and prep the squid, cutting the hood into 1-inch segments. Place the squid, prawns, mussels, clams, and minced garlic into a baking tray, drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil, and season. Par-cook in a hot pizza oven or under a grill for 2 to 3 minutes until the seafood begins to curl and soften.

Shape the Dough
On a floured surface, gently press the pizza dough ball out from the centre, leaving a 1-inch raised crust border around the edge, then stretch to form a round base.

Assemble the Pizza
Spread a generous layer of tomato pizza sauce over the dough base. Arrange the par-cooked prawns, squid, mussels, and clams evenly across the pizza.

Bake
Transfer the assembled pizza onto a pizza peel and launch into a preheated pizza oven at 400°C. Bake for 1 to 2 minutes, turning regularly to ensure an even cook and puffed crust.

Finish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a final drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, then slice and serve hot.
