2 pounds prepared pizza dough
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
¼ cup olive oil
4 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup olive oil
Special equipment:
9 x 13 baking sheet
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
Roll or press dough onto prepared baking sheet.
Mix crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, Romano cheese, sugar, salt, garlic, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt. Spread an ample amount of sauce evenly over crust, spreading it all the way to the edges. Drizzle top of each pizza with 2 additional tablespoons olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce looks dry at the edges, still moist in the middle, and crusts are crisp on the bottom, 18 to 20 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature on racks and cut each pizza into equal strips about 3 inches wide.
Served cold.
