Topped with juicy meatballs, mushrooms, provolone, red onion and arugula, this pizza is jam packed with delicious flavors. Serve it at your next get together with friends for an unforgettable meal!
Prepare the pizza dough ahead of time, allowing time to proof and shape the individual doughs.
The Meatballs
To make the meatballs, mix the ground beef, egg, minced garlic, onion, jalapeno, and spices in a medium sized bowl.
Use a small spoon or portion scoop to scoop out evenly sized balls of meat. Keep the balls small and bite sized to make eating the pizza easier. If the meatballs are to large, cut them in half after cooking to make eating them easier!
Bake the meatballs on a sheet pan in an oven (or even the Ooni oven!) at 375F for 10- 15 minutes until lightly browned and cooked all the way through.
The Remaining Toppings
Slice the cremini mushrooms and sauté them in oil or butter until golden brown. Season with salt, pepper and cool.
Peel and julienne the red onion and set aside.
Shred the provolone cheese on a box grater and set aside.
The Sauce
Any pizza sauce will work for this pizza. Make sure to use a good quality pizza sauce that's nice and rich for maximum flavor.
Instructions - Assemble & Cook the Pizza
Heat the oven aiming for about 850F on the baking stone by using the infrared thermometer.
Dust your pizza peel with flour, and then stretch out your pizza dough to about 10 - 12 inches in diameter. Lay the dough on the peel, and use a large spoon to quickly, yet carefully spread out the pizza sauce on the dough.
Spread some of the sauteed mushrooms on top of the sauce, followed by the provolone cheese, making sure to evenly cover the sauce, yet not adding to much cheese.
Top the pizza with the fully cooked meatballs, and julienned red onion.
Fire the pizza into the hot Ooni oven, making sure to turn regularly as the pizza cooks. Don't walk away as the pizza cooks quickly!
Once done, remove the pizza from the oven, top with fresh arugula, slice, and serve!
