There’s something deeply satisfying about pulling a homemade pizza from a blistering hot oven, especially when it’s topped with ingredients from your own garden. This Margherita pizza is what summer cooking is all about—simple, rustic, and wildly flavorful. I used fresh San Marzano tomatoes, just picked, for the sauce. If you’ve never made your own pizza sauce with sun-ripened tomatoes, you’re in for a treat.
Of course, you don’t have to have a tomato garden to make this work. Canned San Marzanos are a fine (and frankly, excellent) option—just don’t skip the step where you crush them by hand or with a quick pulse in a food processor. More on that below.
