Outdoor Pizza Oven 'Nduja Pizza

We're huge fans of the soft, spreadable, spicy Calabrian cured pork product 'nduja. Though it has the funk and the spice of a cured sausage, 'nduja's texture is far closer to a fresh one. We think it works especially well on pizzas cooked in a tabletop outdoor pizza oven. That's because when pizzas are cooked at temperatures of 800°F (425°C) and up in just two minutes or so, the 'njuda doesn't tend to melt into the pie. Instead, it stays intact in little mounds, just like slices or dollops of fresh sausage would. We kept the rest of the pie simple to let the salume take center stage: a tomato sauce, Parmesan and fresh mozzarella cheeses, along with fresh basil leaves, placed beneath the cheeses and toppings to keep them from burning. It's the sort of classic pizza topping combination that never goes out of style. Get the recipe
