Preparation

Chef’s notes

This makes two 12-inch round or one 13×18 (half-sheet) thin-crusted pizza.
No matter how much spinach it looks like when you put it on, I promise, it’s not too much.
The cheese blend of mozzarella, pecorino, and gruyere gives it a complex salty, stretchy, funky flavor.
Inspired by Jim Lahey's Popeye Pizza.
