There’s something deeply satisfying about a fresh, oven-hot pizza, isn’t there? But what if we say you can take that experience up a notch? That is, you can create a pizza that’s customized exactly to your taste, with fresh ingredients, extra toppings, and the perfect level of crispiness without the time-consuming process of kneading the dough and making the sauce. That’s where half-baked pizzas come in, offering the best of both worlds: the convenience of pizza delivery with the creativity of a homemade touch.
In this blog, we explain all about how you can enjoy the perfect DIY pizza night with Amici’s half-baked pizza.
Why Choose a Half-Baked Pizza?
A half-baked pizza is exactly what it sounds like—partially cooked and delivered to you so you can finish baking it at home. This means you get the structure and flavor of a professionally made pizza while still having control over the final touches.
Amici’s half-baked pizzas are made with premium ingredients, and the crust is designed to crisp up beautifully in your oven. No soggy bottoms, no disappointing dough—just crisp crust and fresh, perfectly balanced flavors every time.
The Benefits of Half-Baked Pizzas
Get that just-out-of-the-oven freshness without leaving your house.
Avoid the risks of delivery delays or lukewarm pizza.
Customize toppings and flavors to suit your exact cravings.
Achieve a perfect golden crust and melty cheese every time.
Customize According to Your Cravings
A great pizza starts with a solid foundation. If you’re ordering from Amici’s, you already have a handcrafted, high-quality crust that crisps up perfectly in your oven. While our half-baked pizza can be enjoyed after baking for a few minutes, you can build on it if you want. After all, that is where all the fun lies — customizing your half-baked pizza with fresh, high-quality toppings that elevate every bite.
More Cheese? Always a Good Idea
Extra mozzarella for that signature stretch.
Feta or ricotta for a creamy, tangy contrast.
Parmesan for a bold, aged cheese finish.
Veggie Lovers, Take Note
Fresh basil, arugula, or cilantro for a pop of green.
Roasted bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms for rich, earthy flavors.
Caramelized onions or sun-dried tomatoes for a gourmet touch.
For the Meat Lovers
Pepperoni and sausage for a classic, hearty pizza.
Grilled chicken or prosciutto for something a little more refined.
Crumbled bacon for a smoky, crispy bite.
Unconventional, but Delicious
Pineapple (controversial, but undeniably tasty).
Hot honey drizzle for a sweet-and-spicy kick.
Truffle oil for an upscale touch.
Pro tip: Layer your toppings strategically. Heavy ingredients like meats and thick veggies should go below lighter ingredients like herbs and cheeses to ensure even baking. Be careful not to overload your pizza with heavy toppings, as this may cause your pizza to be soggy.
Baking Your Pizza to Perfection
The key to turning a half-baked pizza into a masterpiece lies in how you finish it.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) for that perfect crisp.
Bake directly on the oven rack or a pizza stone to get an authentic, restaurant-style crust.
Watch closely—5 minutes is usually enough to finish cooking.
For an extra bubbly cheese topping, turn on the broiler for the last minute of baking.
With Amici’s half-baked pizza, you’ll notice that the crust bakes evenly, staying crisp without burning. Our dough is crafted to hold up to the high heat of your home oven, ensuring a consistently great texture every time.
The Final Touches & Serving Suggestions
Once your pizza is out of the oven, it’s time for those last finishing touches.
Post-Bake Enhancements
A sprinkle of fresh basil or oregano for extra freshness.
A drizzle of balsamic glaze or chili oil for bold flavor.
Fresh burrata or a touch of extra virgin olive oil for a creamy, indulgent bite.
Pair your customized creation with some simple but delicious sides—think garlic bread, a fresh side salad, or a crisp, cold drink.
Make DIY Pizza Night a New Tradition
Customizing your half-baked pizza is more than just making dinner—it’s an experience. Whether you’re hosting a fun family night, impressing your friends, or just treating yourself to something special, this is pizza, your way.
So next time you’re craving a perfect, oven-fresh slice, skip the ordinary delivery and go for a half-baked pizza from Amici’s. Because the best pizza is the one made just the way you like it.
