Brush the dough with Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a crushed garlic clove. Shredded Low-Moisture Mozzarella for browning, a few pieces of Galbani Fresh Mozzarella if you want milkiness. Finish with Locatelli Pecorino Romano. Do not drown it. A white pie goes soggy faster than a red one because there is no acid to cut the fat.

Bake on a hot steel or in a pan at 260–290°C (500–550°F). The New York Pizza Dough is the right dough. A 90-second Neapolitan oven wants less cheese or the centre floods.
