Step 1

Form the dough with your hands into a round pizza. Instructions for a homemade dough can be found here: Italian pizza dough. Alternatively, a store-bought dough can be used, but this does not taste as good as homemade dough.

Step 2

Spread the dough evenly with a few tablespoons of homemade tomato sauce. Leave about 1 inch at the edge.

Step 3

Peel the garlic and finely chop it. Cut the chili peppers into thin rings. Alternatively, chilli flakes or chilli powder can be used for the devil pizza.

Step 4

Slice the mozzarella with a sharp knife into pieces.

Step 5

Add the chopped garlic, chili peppers and mozzarella slices to the pizza. For a spicy taste you can add some Parmigiano Reggiano (Italian Parmesan cheese).

Step 6

Slice hot Italian salami into thin slices and spread on the devil pizza.

Step 7

Depending on your taste, pickled peppers and onions cut into rings can be used as a additional topping.

Step 8

Season with Italian herbs or fresh basil.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to the highest possible temperature available. Depending on the baking temperature, the Pizza Diavola takes 5 to 10 minutes to finish baking. A detailed guide for baking the perfect pizza in your oven at home can be found here: baking pizza at home.

Step 10

Slice into pieces and serve hot.
