Pizza is a love language in New Jersey. Although ordering pizza is always a good idea, making it at home is a total game-changer. In addition to saving money on take-out and delivery, making homemade pizza is a fun experience to share with loved ones (especially kids). It’s also a wonderful way to have an inclusive meal for those who follow a vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free diet. Many pizzerias in town sell pizza dough and some will even sell sauce and toppings too. Read on to learn more about where to get fresh + frozen pizza dough in Hoboken + Jersey City.
Making pizza at home can seem intimidating at first but with dough, sauce, cheese, and a baking sheet, amazing pizza can be made in 15 minutes or less. For those who want restaurant-style pizza at home, a pizza stone will come in handy. Its cooking surface distributes heat evenly, resulting in a crispy pizza crust.
Fresh pizza dough doesn’t require any preparation. It just needs to be rolled out to the desired thickness and width. Place the dough on a baking sheet and top with sauce, cheese, and toppings of choice. Bake at a high temperature (usually 425 degrees) for about 15 minutes and the pizza will be baked to perfection.
When working with frozen dough, allow the dough to thaw in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight. When ready to make the pizza, allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature before rolling it out.
