To make this homemade chimichurri pizza you will need a few things. We make all of our pizza from scratch so you will find the links to each individual recipe to make this easy. 

For this homemade pizza recipe, we are using the Hans grill pizza stone. You will need a pizza stone or pizza oven. We love the Hans Grill Pizza Stone for use on the outdoor grill, or in the kitchen’s oven. We also love the RoccBox outdoor propane pizza oven (similar to an Ooni). You can find them online here:

Making Homemade Pizza 

First, turn on the grill with the Hans pizza grill stone inside. The stone will heat up with the grill while you prepare the pizza. 

Start by stretching the dough out with the back of your hands and pressing the edges out on a lightly floured surface. Once the crust is formed place it on a lightly floured pizza peel.

Next, spoon a few dollops of ricotta cheese onto the prepared dough.
