  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
    • 1 onion, roughly chopped
    • 5 cloves garlic, smashed
    • 1 dried bay leaf
    • 1 1/2 cups white wine
    • 54 littleneck clams
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 1/4 pounds homemade or store-bought pizza dough, room temperature
    • Crushed red pepper flakes
    • Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Position a rack in the lower third of oven; place a pizza stone on rack. Preheat oven to 500 degrees at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and bay leaf; cook, stirring, until vegetables are soft and fragrant. Add wine and cover pot; bring liquid to a boil. Add clams, cover, and cook, until clams have opened, about 5 minutes. Remove clams from pot and let cool. Remove clams from shells, discarding shells; set aside.
  3. Strain liquid into a medium saucepan; discard solids. Cook liquid over medium-high heat until reduced and thickened. Add cream and continue cooking until reduced and thickened. Remove from heat and let sauce cool.
  4. Divide dough into six equal pieces; shape one piece into a 10-inch-round on a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet. Spoon just enough of the clam sauce over pizza to cover. Top pizza with 9 clams and sprinkle with pepper flakes.
  5. Carefully transfer pizza to pizza stone and bake until pizza is crisp and nicely browned. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately; repeat process with remaining dough and toppings.
