Spicy Chorizo and Chilli Pizza
There are a lot of pizza flavours to choose, from the simple Margherita to Super Supreme but there are few versions that are suited for the ones who love hot and spicy food like me, I don’t even recall if there was a popular hot pizza flavour. Having that in mind why not make my own flavour? It was a good timing anyways as we had bought heaps of chorizo last week and some fresh chillies, so for this post we will be making a Spanish inspired pizza with flavours coming from chillies, smoked paprika, cayenne, chorizo, garlic and queso de bola.

Chorizos are such a great topping for any pizza!! Looks great! I can almost smell it now. haha

I am in love with this pizza!!!!!!!! I’m kind of obsessed with chorizo LOL.
Did someone say spicy? That’s my name!
This pizza looks amazingly delicious. I have a friend loveeeeeeeeeesssssssss chorizo more than life itself (it would seem) – when I go back to my island, I may have to make this for her for her birthday. She would love it and love me even more.
It looks amazing! I love chorizo and luckily I live in Spain 🙂
nothing can seem to go wrong with pizza.. i think the combo is perfect.. i love it hot!
I LOVE chorizo and it goes without saying that I love pizza. So I will definitely be trying this recipe :). Thanks Raymund 🙂
Great pizza with your favorite toppings. Chorizo sounds nice, and spicy pizza will make my husband happy! I feel bad that I can’t cook spicy food…
this is absolutely the boyfriend’s DREAM pizza haha! I should keep this recipe for him!
My daughter’s kind of food and she will drool all over if I make this pizza for her.
Saw the name of this pizza in my reader and immediately knew it was for me.
I like the idea of the cayenne and smoked paprika in the sauce! This sounds so good!
This is right up my husband’s alley. 🙂
*GASP!!!!* Why didn’t I think of making this before?!?!?! Just the idea of chorizo sizzling on top of melted cheese of different varieties……
*tears of joy* 😀
one of my favorite pizza in handuraw restaurant is cebuana pizza. a spicy pizza with chorizo. yum yum
I love a good pepperoni and can never get enough of chorizo, so this is perfect. Spicy, juicy and the base looks great too!
Beautiful pizza! I love the idea of using edam cheese instead of mozzarella.
That pizza look great! But I wouldn’t use the topping ingredients you have mentioned. The chorizo is Spanish, not Italian 🙂
Yes it is Spanish inspired, do you have any suggestion for a replacement that taste the same?
Uhm.. let me think. I would probably use “la soppressata di Calabria”, that is a very spicy kind of salami originally from the south of Italy. You can have a look at it here 🙂 http://www.leziosa.com/images/soppressata.jpg
My mouth is on fire and loving it!!! Awesome pizza Raymund!
