Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepot. Add the onions and garlic then sauté for 5-8 minutes until tender and very fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Step 2

Squeeze the tomato paste into the pot and cook while stirring for 3-4 minutes until a fond forms at the bottom of the pot. Add the heavy cream and tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 3

Blend the sauce with a hand blender then add the vodka. Cook for an additional 10 minutes to ensure that the alcohol has cooked off completely. Remove from the saucepot and let cool slightly before using.

Step 4

Preheat Blackstone pizza oven until the stone temperature registers 650F. Form the pizza, spread the sauce from one edge to the other. Lay the mozzarella over the sauce leaving space between the cheese slices so the sauce can bubble through.

Step 5

Launch the pizza and cook for 75-90 seconds until the crust is just starting to leopard. Pull the pizza out, top with pepperoni, and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds. Remove from the pizza oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Slice and serve immediately.
