Salami Pizza is a super quick and easy recipe that’s bound to please the whole family! This homemade pizza tastes just like your favorite pizzeria’s but is ready in under 25 minutes. You’ll definitely want to keep coming back to this one!
I’m a huge pizza fan, and making it at home is always a treat. There’s something so satisfying about that perfect blend of soft, chewy crust, rich sauce, and delicious toppings. This salami pizza is a fun twist on classic pepperoni pizza. Instead of pepperoni, we use salami, which has a herby flavor and is less spicy but just as tasty.
The key to great pizza is using high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better your pizza will taste. Homemade sauce and crust make a huge difference too. Storing leftovers is easy—just wrap them in plastic wrap or keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. Leftover pizza is great either warm or cold, depending on your preference. It’ll stay fresh for about 4 days.
Salami On Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Pizza dough
- 1/2 cup Marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices of Salami
- 1 tbsp Dried Italian seasoning
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Cornmeal for dusting
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle.
- Sprinkle a little cornmeal onto the bottom of your pizza pan. Place the rolled dough on the pan.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and arrange the salami slices on top.
- Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the pizza. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Preheat Your Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 425°F (220°C) before baking. This ensures a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
- Use Cornmeal: Sprinkle cornmeal on your pizza pan before adding the dough. This helps prevent sticking and gives the crust a nice texture.
- Layer Ingredients Wisely: For a crispier pizza, place a layer of cheese directly on the dough before adding the sauce and toppings. This creates a barrier that helps keep the crust from getting soggy.

How Can I Make My Salami Pizza Crispy?
To get a crispy crust on your salami pizza, start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) before baking. Sprinkle a bit of cornmeal on your pizza pan or baking sheet to prevent sticking and add texture. Make sure not to overload the pizza with too many toppings, as this can make the crust soggy. Bake the pizza for 12-14 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Can I Use Pre-Made Dough for This Pizza?
Yes, you can definitely use pre-made pizza dough for this recipe. It’s a great time-saver and will still give you a delicious pizza. Just follow the instructions on the package for rolling out the dough and baking. If you’re using store-bought dough, you might need to adjust the baking time slightly, so keep an eye on your pizza as it bakes.
