Ramen Pizza (Topping-On-Crust)

Classic pizza dough topped with soy-seasoned ramen nests, mozzarella, and scallions—pizza slice meets noodle pull.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces dried ramen noodles (2 bricks, seasoning packets discarded)
• 1 large prepared pizza crust (store-bought or homemade, about 12 inches)
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or other pizza toppings (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh basil leaves, for serving

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook ramen noodles for 2–3 minutes until just tender, drain, rinse under cool water, and pat very dry.
3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over crust, sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan, and add pepperoni or other toppings. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes if using.
4. In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cooked ramen noodles and sauté for 2–3 minutes until just golden and a little crisp.
5. Scatter sautéed ramen over the pizza.
6. Bake pizza for 10–12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are golden.
7. Top with basil and any desired toppings before slicing and serving.
