Ingredients

  1. One 6.5-ounce can clams, drained with 3 tablespoons juice reserved
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
  3. 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish
  4. 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
  5. 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  6. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  7. 1 pound pizza dough
  8. 1/2 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella
  9. 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the clams, the reserved clam juice, olive oil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.
  3. Spread the pizza dough into a large oval on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and half of the Pecorino Romano. Scatter over the clam mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the dough.

I make this all the time! One of my favorites and so easy! I add bacon and make a side salad with it
Carolyn Collins
Really great! I only did one sprinkle of pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons of clam
juice. Also a bit of extra mozzarella. Super tasty and the dough puffed up so high. Will certainly make again!
Robert Williamson
Delicious and very quick and easy! We added crisped crumbled bacon at the end. Next time, we’ll add more clams. Huge hit with the family.
Robert Rocha
Delicious recipe but way to spicy hot. I will make this again but will cut the red pepper flakes in half. I did add a second can of clams and bacon for a clams casino type pizza. Make sure to use a cookie sheet or your oven will smoke!

Yum REE Yum…

This is a delicious pizza. But be sure to follow the recipe in regard to using a baking sheet. I used a pizza stone and have olive oil smoking on the bottom of the oven. My bad for not following instructions. Really good recipe
Krystal Kelly
Loved this pizza….not very many pizza places have a clam pizza on their menu! But why does she keep calling her mother by her first name?? Sounds disrespectful to me
Carrie Lopez
I love this pizza I will make it again love the clams
Anthony Turner
This was fantastic!  Made it exactly as recipe said. I will definitely make it again, soon!
Crystal Russo
This was really good. I would not add crushed pepper flakes and hold the salt. I had the mozzarella but not the second cheese so I used parmesan. And I liked the idea of more clams!
