How to Make It
DoughUse a 48-hour cold-fermented Neapolitan dough for a light, airy cornicione that can support the heavy protein toppings.
SauceSpread a thin, even layer of the pizza sauce using the back of a ladle to ensure a consistent base that doesn't overpower the seafood.
- 1Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or baking steel placed on the upper rack for at least 45 minutes.
- 2Stretch your room-temperature dough into a 12-inch circle on a piece of parchment paper or a floured peel.
- 3Apply the pizza sauce in a spiral pattern, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
- 4Distribute the mozzarella cheese evenly, ensuring it covers the sauce to act as a binder for the proteins.
- 5Arrange the buffalo chicken pieces and lobster meat in an alternating pattern to ensure every slice has both proteins.
- 6Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and drained artichoke hearts into the remaining gaps.
- 7Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is blistered and the cheese is bubbling and golden.
- 8Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the hot surface.
- 9Finish the pizza by scattering fresh dill fronds over the top to provide a cool, aromatic contrast to the spicy buffalo sauce.
Chef's Tip
To elevate the lobster's flavor, lightly toss the meat in a tiny bit of melted butter before adding it to the pizza; this protects the delicate meat from the high heat and mimics a classic lobster roll profile.
