This Cheesy Mushroom & Pancetta Pizza is made with perfectly spiced sautéed mushrooms, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Pizza Perfect for any day of the week!

So it’s the weekend, in the middle of September. The temperature is cooling down, well at least a bit here in Italy, not as much as I would like though! But what do we want for supper? Pizza of course. But not any kind of Pizza! How about a delicious Homemade Mushroom Pancetta Pizza?

If there is one thing we all agree on its Pizza on the weekend. From a plain Tomato Pizza to an Italian Sausage with Artichokes and Cheese to one of my favourites, Grilled Zucchini Pizza with Ruccola. I love Ruccola, in salads on smoked salmon everywhere!

And if you have the urge to make your own dough, this is one of the best Homemade Pizza Doughs  or this Easy Pizza Dough both are easy and delicious.

Although, sometimes we get the urge for pizza at the last minute,  and there isn’t time for homemade dough so I usually buy a good store bought or even pick up some dough at the local bakery. You could probably check out your nearest pizzeria, I have done that back home, with no problem.

So yes, this Sautéed Mushroom Pancetta Pizza was last minute, I actually got the urge while grocery shopping. We love the combination of mushrooms and pancetta, throw on a little oregano and parsley, cook it up with some olive oil and you have the perfect topping for your Pizza.

I also decided to use a few fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped, I much prefer that to the canned sauce.

    Can pizza dough be made a day before?

    You definitely can, the best pizza dough can rise over night in the fridge, and the Easy Pizza Dough needs a first rise at room temperature and the second rise can be done in the fridge. They both require a 2 hour rising time so you can decide which is easier for you.

    Best pizza dough will easily make 2-3 pizzas, and the easy dough will make a large thick crust pizza.

        Since there are fresh tomatoes in the garden this was the best time to try out the recipe. The pizza was excellent and easy to make. Thank you for the recipe that I will definitely put in my folder.

        Mushrooms and pancetta (or prosciutto) are my favorite pizza toppings in the world! I love the idea of using fresh tomatoes instead of sauce, too. I’ll have to try that the next time I make pizza. It sounds delicious and looks absolutely beautiful.
