Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack.
  2. Sprinkle your pizza peel with cornmeal for a non-stick surface.
  3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 13 inches in diameter, with a thickness of ¼ inch.
  4. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the cornmeal-dusted pizza peel.
  5. Distribute the grated fontina and asiago cheese evenly over the dough, then add mozzarella and dollops of ricotta.
  6. Drizzle olive oil over the cheese, then season with kosher salt and black pepper, and add grated Romano.
  7. Slide the pizza directly onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes.
  8. Optionally broil for an extra 1-2 minutes for additional crisp.
  9. Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and garnish with fresh basil.
