A radical twist on a chilli beef pizza takes a Mexican inspired flavour combo with chilli and chocolate!
This radical twist on a chilli beef pizza takes a Mexican inspired flavour combo with chilli and chocolate. The bitter dark chocolate grated over at the last minute accentuates the sweetness of the chilli beef and it’s a pizza with some strong Fiesta vibes. A great pizza to jazz up any leftover beef dish with a rich tomato sauce, jalapeño, paprika and smoked chilli.

Method
Cook your beef chilli by browning the beef, onions and garlic in oil. Then add our spices and herbs. Pour in your beef stock and tomatoes and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook for 2 hours until soft and tender. Add in your chocolate and season to taste.
Preheat your pizza oven to 450˚C and then move the fire to one side.
Flour your peel with polenta and throw your pizza dough into a large circle approximately 30cm in diameter. Lay carefully onto the floured peel.
Top the dough with a couple of spoons of BBQ tomato sauce. Add torn mozzarella, jalapeno, and chilli beef as toppings.
Bake for 2-3 mins and then turn the pizza around. Bake for a further 2-3 minutes until the base is crispy and the cheese melts. Finish with grated chocolate.

The chargrilled fennel slices combine with creamy mascarpone cheese to make a pizza combo that ticks [...]
The original Naples pizza used just a few fresh basil leaves to decorate the Italian tricolore inspired tomato-topped Margherita pizza. And the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN) approves only a pinch of oregano if it’s for a Neapolitan marinara sauce. But purists are purists, and it’s great that they are protecting the original pizza for [...]
Sicilliana Olive and Anchovy Pizza Pizza! For me the combination of sweet, briny olives with salty anchovies is rustic delight. The intense pops of flavour in each mouthful rise and fall with milky melted mozzarella and a rich spiced tomato sauce. It’s a moorish pizza that leaves you guessing with each bite. Method [...]
