Step 1

To prepare the sauce, preheat the Gozney to 360–380°C / 680–720°F. Heat a cast iron pan in the oven, then add the olive oil and garlic. Saute for 1–2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the Calabrian chillies and oregano, then return the pan to the oven for 1–2 minutes until softened.

Step 3

To flambé, add the vodka to the pan and allow it to ignite and reduce. Pour in the blended tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and stir.

Step 4

To cook the sauce, reduce the oven temperature to 300–320°C / 570–610°F and return the pan to the oven for 3–4 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from the oven, stir in the cream, and set aside to cool.

Step 5

To prepare the base, dust your surface with flour and stretch the dough into a 14-inch circle.

Step 6

To assemble the pizza, top the base with some sliced mozzarella, 4 tablespoons of the cooled vodka sauce and a sprinkle of pecorino.

Step 7

To bake, reduce the Gozney flame to a low setting (around 260°C / 500°F). Dust the peel with flour, launch the pizza into the oven, and bake for 5–8 minutes, turning occasionally until evenly cooked and golden.

Step 8

To serve, finish with an extra sprinkle of pecorino and serve hot.
