Steps

Chef's notes

Preheat your pizza stone or steel at 475°F for a full 45 minutes before baking; a lukewarm stone is the most common reason the bottom stays soft instead of crisping up like the original. Dock the dough aggressively and thoroughly with a fork all the way to the edges before par-baking; this is what gives Pizza King its signature flat, cracker-crisp crust rather than a puffy artisan one. Shred the provolone yourself from a block rather than buying pre-shredded; pre-shredded cheese is coated with anti-caking starch that dulls the melt and the sharp, tangy flavor that defines this pie. If you make the homemade sauce, let it chill the full 30 minutes; the rest time allows the salt and sugar to dissolve and the oregano to bloom, rounding out the raw paste flavor before it hits the crust. The sausage, mushrooms, onion, and peppers should all be cut into small, uniform pieces and fully cooked or drained before topping; excess moisture from any of them will steam the cheese instead of letting it bubble and brown in the 9-minute bake window.
