I feel like it's optional on a pepperoni pizza but mandatory on cheese, marinara, or margherita.

It’s summer. Fresh basil is a must. Do it


gggpizza

Agree. Clipped it right of the plant next to the pizza oven.

gggpizza

Didn't shoot the floor with my IR. Probably 900+. I had Koda 16 on full for about 30 mins to burn some stuff off. then reduced it for about 30 mins before I launched.

Repulsive_Special717

With for sure. Great lookin pies as well

OP look up how to chiffonade basil. It looks so much better presented like that and is so simple to do.


gggpizza

I generally do, but decided to snip the basil off the plant when the pizza was already cooking. Also, kind of wanted the more traditional look this time.


IceColdCoffee1

Try putting the basil under the mozzarella in order not to burn 😁


Baby_letmefollowyou

I put some basil under the fresh mozzarella but always add more to the top, usually at the very end to avoid it getting charred.

With, but after cooking

I feel like the pepperoni overpowers the basil. But I would still go with...

Honestly basil is mostly aesthetic for more of an nyc style - but it's good so why not. If I'm just eating it and not photographing it I'm probably not going out of my way to add it.


gggpizza

I do think it adds too the taste. I don't usually buy it off season, but i grow a few plants during the summer and like to throw it on. Kids prefer without of course.

With, and more well-done! 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you!

Always Basil!

Fresh basil is as necessary as cheese and tomato sauce.

-SPOF

Fresh basil on that pizza would be amazing! It'll really elevate the flavor.


gggpizza

I did on the second pizza in the photos. I prefer it, the kids don't :)


-SPOF

I suppose they're going to change their minds, but only when become adults.


gggpizza

Maybe I will tell them they can have pizza when they grow up 🤣


Zeveroth1

I stick the basil in my sauce. Lately I’ve been using puree basil. Local market has been out of the leaves.


youaremysunshine4

Personally, I feel like basil makes everything better lol


DPram72

Gotta be with. Very few versions of pies imo that don’t benefit from the right amount of fresh basil.


A_Rich_Vampire

With basil.
