A classic and simple pepperoni pizza with sweet and hot honey is not bad at all. I have posted the hot honey as a own recipe as you don't need much for this pizza. You can also use store-bought hot honey if you prefer.

The pizza is simple in its components and goes well with a normal cheese such as gouda. You can use other varieties as well, but I think a regular, relatively tasteless cheese works best. The pepperoni will take over the flavor anyway.

I choose to use fresh chili for the hot honey as I have lots of extra chilis from my garden. However, you can use dried chili instead.
