Piri Piri Crispy Pizza

A thin, crispy pizza with a spicy kick—Piri Piri sauce takes this from basic to bold in every bite.

Ingredients

• 1 thin pizza crust (store-bought or homemade flatbread)
  

• 2–3 tbsp Louisiana Pepper Exchange Piri Piri Sauce, plus more for drizzling
  

• 1/3 cup pizza sauce or crushed tomatoes
  

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone
  

• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  

• 1/2 cup cooked chicken or sausage (optional)
  

• Olive oil
  

• Optional toppings: arugula, fresh basil, or a drizzle of honey
  
  

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 450°F (or follow instructions for your pizza crust). Place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up for extra crispiness.
   

2. Assemble the Pizza:
   Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on the crust, then drizzle or dot with Piri Piri Sauce. Add shredded cheese, red onion, and your protein of choice (if using).
   

3. Bake:
    Place pizza directly on the hot baking sheet or stone. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the crust is crispy and cheese is bubbling and golden.
   

4. Finish & Serve:
   Top with arugula or basil if desired. Add a final drizzle of Piri Piri Sauce (or a touch of honey for a sweet-heat contrast).
   
   

Serve With:

A crisp side salad and cold beverage of choice—this one brings the fire.
