Chef's Tips
Cook the ground beef ahead of time and let it cool slightly before adding to the pizza
Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor that stands up to the other ingredients
Don't add the lettuce, tomatoes, or sauce until after baking to keep them fresh and crisp
If you don't have burger sauce, thousand island dressing or a mix of mayo and ketchup works great
Ensure your outdoor oven is properly preheated for authentic Neapolitan-style cooking
Use a pizza peel with semolina flour to easily transfer the pizza to the oven
Rotate the pizza every 20 seconds or so for even charring
The high heat of the outdoor oven will quickly melt the cheese and crisp the crust
