Ingredients

7 ounces pizza dough
2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 ounces mozzarella knots, shredded
6 thin slices pancetta
1 (2-inch) piece zucchini, thinly sliced
2 ounces herbed cream cheese

Directions

Place a pizza stone on the floor or the lowest rack of your oven. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Pat the pizza dough into a 12-inch diameter circle and place it on a peel. Spread on the heavy cream, then the mozzarella. Place the pancetta slices on so there is pancetta on each slice of pizza (6 slices). Finally add the zucchini and chunks of the cream cheese. Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for 8 for 10 minutes.

Buon Appetito!

Great and Easy Pizza
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this for company last night and liked it so much I made it for Sunday lunch today. I increased the cream and... mozzerella just a little to help keep it from being too dry and we cut the pancetta into small pieces to make it easier to eat. This is a great pizza and just as easy to make as a traditional pizza.Read more

Lemon Juice and Pancetta info
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Hello, I have this episode Tivo'd and just watched it last night. Georgio used lemon juice on 'one' of the pizzas he made for... his party, but it wasn't this one. This one is the one he won 2nd place in the Worlds Best Pizza contest. Also, in the episode, he mentioned that pancetta is smoked bacon, as did a previous reviewer - however- pancetta is actually unsmoked bacon, which has a distinctively different taste than smoked bacon. It is generally available anywhere, so I would only substitute bacon if you're in a bind as the flavor really won't be the same. Hope this helps.Read more

Hi, I am a bit confused too-didn't they put lemon juice on top of the pizza too? It is not listed in the recipe.

I made this pizza tonight and it was fantastic. Since I could not find herb cream cheese i used chive and onion. Mmmm was... it good. I recommend making this pizza as something different or if you are making multiple pizza make this one of them. I used pancetta, sliced very thin. You do not have to cook it first as it is very thin it will cook in the oven with the pizza. The difference between pancetta and bacaon is that bacon is a lot saltier. Fresh mozzerella is a must as is thinly slice zucchini.Read more
