Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and heat the pizza stone for about 20 minutes.
Prepare the pizza peel by sprinkling it with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Roll out the pizza dough to approximately 13 inches in diameter and transfer to the prepared peel.
Evenly sprinkle the grated fontina and asiago cheeses over the dough, then add the torn mozzarella pieces and dollop ricotta over the top.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with romano cheese before baking.
Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or directly on the rack for about 10 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
