LUKA - MARGHERITA "Handmade Firebaked Pizza"

LUKA MARGHERITA | Handmade Stone-Baked Pizza

Restaurant-made Margherita, ready at home in around 8 minutes.

This pizza is handmade by Chef Takashi Okuno and the team at LUKA.

The dough is made with Italian flour and wild yeast, slowly fermented, stretched by hand and baked in a 500°C stone oven.

It is topped with fresh tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, Parmesan and basil, then flash-frozen after baking to preserve its freshly made flavour and texture.

Reheat it at home and the crust becomes crisp and lightly charred outside, while remaining soft and chewy inside.


Handmade by LUKA. Stone-baked at 500°C. Ready from your freezer in around 8 minutes.

Why the Dough Is Different

The dough is made with Italian flour and naturally fermented with wild yeast.

After fermenting slowly, each piece is stretched by hand and baked in LUKA’s stone oven at 500°C.

That intense heat gives the crust its lightly charred, crisp exterior while keeping the inside soft and properly chewy.


Only after the pizza has been properly baked is it flash-frozen.

This helps preserve the texture of the crust and the flavour of the freshly baked pizza until you are ready to enjoy it at home.

That is what makes it different from the usual frozen pizza.

Tomato, Buffalo Mozzarella & Basil

Margherita is a simple pizza, which is exactly why the quality of every ingredient matters.

The sauce, made from fresh tomatoes, has a lovely balance of acidity and sweetness.

Buffalo mozzarella brings a rich, milky flavour, while Parmesan adds depth and fresh basil gives the pizza its familiar aroma.

A final drizzle of olive oil brings everything together.
There is plenty of cheese, but it never feels too heavy.

From Freezer to Table

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Remove the pizza from its packaging and lightly spray or sprinkle water over the entire surface.
3. Bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted.

The water may seem like a small detail, but it helps keep the crust from becoming dry and brings back its soft, chewy texture.

No oven?

You can also heat the pizza in a frying pan.

1. Remove the pizza from the freezer and leave it at room temperature until naturally thawed.
2. Place the thawed pizza in a frying pan and cover with a lid.
3. Heat over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and the base is crisp.
4. Drizzle the honey lightly over the hot pizza just before eating.

This method gives the base a little extra crispness while keeping the dough soft and chewy inside.

I had mine with coffee for a slow brunch at home.
But it would be just as good with a cold beer or a glass of wine.

Made by Chef Takashi Okuno

LUKA is an Italian restaurant in Singapore led by Japanese chef Takashi Okuno.

Since opening in 2017, the restaurant has become known for its Italian cooking with a distinctly Japanese sensibility.

These frozen pizzas are made by LUKA with the same ingredients, process and care that go into the food served at the restaurant.

It is not only about the convenience of having something frozen.

It is about being able to enjoy food properly made by a restaurant chef, at home, whenever you feel like it.

That is the idea behind Chef’s Creation by JX.TODAY.
