The sauce is my variation of Giada De Laurentiis' spicy Diavolo sauce and then topped with the earthy flavors of spinach, goat cheese, and artichokes. So the next time you have an urge for pizza, instead of ordering out, make this mouthwatering one at home!
My first time having Diavolo sauce was actually at a wood fire pizza restaurant in Denver called Pizza Republica- it was the sauce on their Diavola pizza that had smoked mozzarella, spicy salumi, and hot capicola.
I cheated big time when I had the pizza there because I'm not supposed to eat nitrates...but it was so worth it!
In a medium skillet over medium heat sauté 1 chopped medium onion in a drizzle of olive oil until translucent, about 5 Minutes.
Add 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 cup of dry white wine and simmer for 3 Minutes.
Stir in 14-ounces of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.
Simmer for 10 Minutes until sauce thickens.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Flatten 1 prepared pizza dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet or pizza stone into a 10 inch circle.
Spread 3/4 cup of the prepared diavolo sauce evenly over dough.
Sprinkle 4 ounces of shredded mozzarella over sauce.
Top with 2-3 ounces of fresh spinach leaves.
Slice 2-3 large artichoke hearts (or as many as you like) and place on pizza.
Crumble 2 ounces of goat cheese and sprinkle over top of pizza.
Bake 14- 18 Minutes or until dough is cooked and cheese is melted.
Slice and serve hot.
