Who doesn't love a delicious slice with all the tasty toppings?
Viral TikTok creator and chef Julia Molinari knows just how much people love pizza so she shares multiple videos on social media focusing on making the perfect Jersey pizza pie!
Julia Molinari Demonstrates How To Make A Yummy Pizza Bianca!
Molinari sure knows how to whip up the perfect dough disc! She recently shared a video on TikTok demonstrating how to make a Pizza Bianca, an olive oil-soaked pie without sauce.
She starts her demo by kneading, tossing and stretching the dough. Once it's the size and thickness desired, she puts it on a peel and drizzles olive oil all over.
Once the olive oil is soaking into the dough, it's time for some mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese in clumps throughout her base, and some fresh garlic spread around the whole pie. (That's when dad stepped in to make sure there wasn't too much garlic on the pizza.)
Then it was time to fire up the oven and get this party started!
Once the pizza was cooked to perfection and taken out of the oven, Molinari sliced it up and tested it out.
"That's a good pizza," she said just before the video ended.
'Perfection Is An Understatement'
Molinari's Pizza Bianca video received more than 3.6 million views and 2,500 comments.
One follower took to the comments to say, "This is the best one yet." Another viewer added, "The way your dad watched you. Gotta love it lol." One other viewer shared, "Perfection is an understatement."
Some viewers wanted to make requests for future pizza videos.
"Please make a stuffed crust pizza," one person requested, and another asked, "Can you make a margherita pizza please?"
Julia Molinari Isn't New To Making Pizza
The content creator has been making Italian dishes for much of her life. In a video on TikTok captioned, "My first language is pizza making," Molinari shares photos from when she was just a little girl already making her own.
Photos featured in the video show Molinari making pizza dough as a little girl and then flashes to a video of her currently mouthing the words to the song, "Where'd All The Time Go?" by Dr. Dog.
The video then shows more photos of her in her younger years - catching flying pizza dough, putting sauce on it and checking out her freshly cooked personal black olive pizza.

More In The Mood For A Calzone? Julia Molinari Shares A Calzone Video, Too!
In a viral TikTok video that received more than 2 million views, Molinari demonstrates how to make a calzone.
She starts off the same way as she did making her pizza - tossing and stretching the dough. In this video, her mom is in the background helping out briefly.
First, she adds a generous amount of ricotta cheese onto the flattened dough. Then dad makes an appearance to try out the ricotta. She then added mozzarella on top of the ricotta. It's important to note, she's adding the ingredients to only the bottom half of the pizza dough, leaving the top half naked.
Then she added a good amount of pepperoni before folding the dough from the top over the bottom where all the tasty ingredients are. After folding it over, she used her fingers to press down around the whole calzone saying, "It's a massive dumpling."
Before cooking the calzone, she sprinkled olive oil and seasonings on the top. While the calzone was baking, she got the marinara sauce ready to go.
