Top Tips
If using a domed pizza oven, reduce the cook time to accommodate the oven. Cook times will be closer to 5 minutes or less.
Use a pizza cutter to cut the pizza into slices, it is easier than a knife.
Let the dough rest until it is room temperature, Cold dough is hard to mold and won't cook evenly.
Spread dough carefully to ensure the dough is evenly thick throughout and doesn't have any holes.
Be sure to evenly and thinly slice the potatoes so they cook evenly.
Spread the potatoes and mozzarella evenly over the pizza crust for consistent texture.
Use a mandolin to thinly slice potatoes evenly and easily. Use a protective glove to protect your fingers!
Storage
If you have leftover pizza, refrigerate it in an air-tight container or foil for up to 3 days. When you are ready to eat it, enjoy it cold, at room temperature, or heat the oven to 300°F then warm pizza on a baking sheet for 5 to 7 minutes.
