PIZZA SAUCE

In food processor or blender, add whole peeled tomatoes, oregano, and salt and pepper
Pulse until combined, yet slightly chunky. Set aside.

BUILDING THE PIZZA

Build a good set of coals, and place the coal pan on the 3rd notch. Lower your grill grate. Temp should be about 350-400 degrees.
On a cold pizza stone, use your fingers to spread out the dough to your desired pizza size.
With a spoon, spread pizza sauce as thick or as thin as you like to the edges of the dough.
Add the Sopressata slices evenly on top of the pizza sauce.
Add the Italian Sausage, also evenly on top of the Sopressata.
Add both of your cheeses, however you like.
Add the banana peppers and sliced onions.
On the Barrel, place the made pizza and stone on the grill grate. Lower the lid so it begins to bake. Check every few minutes. Make sure the temperature remains between 350-400 degrees.
As the crust begins to rise, brush the crust with olive oil.
When the cheese starts to bubble in the middle of the pizza and the crust is a light golden brown, remove and serve.
