Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl Perfect for seasoning and mixing your sushi rice evenly.
  • Sharp Knife: A must-have for slicing fish, avocado, and other toppings with precision.
  • Sushi Mat (Optional): Handy for shaping the sushi rice base, but not essential if you’re using a pizza pan.
  • Pizza Pan or Baking Sheet: To form and hold the sushi rice base in place.
  • Rice Cooker: Ensures perfectly cooked sushi rice every time, saving effort and guaranteeing consistency.
  • Non-Stick Spatula: Makes spreading the rice evenly over the pan a mess-free task.
  • Mandoline Slicer: Great for achieving thin, uniform slices of cucumber or other veggies.
  • Small Sauce Bottle: For creating clean, decorative drizzles of spicy mayo or soy sauce.

Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Toppings

  • 4 ounces sushi-grade salmon or tuna thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado sliced or diced
  • 1 sheet nori cut into small strips
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mayo mix mayonnaise with a touch of sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds white or black, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumber
  • Optional: tobiko or masago for extra texture

For Assembly

  • Soy sauce for drizzling or dipping
  • Pickled ginger and wasabi optional sides

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sushi Rice

  • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  • Cook the rice according to the package instructions or in a rice cooker for perfect results.
  • In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then gently fold it into the cooked rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Shape the Pizza Base

  • Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Spread the seasoned sushi rice evenly into a circular pizza shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Use a spatula or your hands (dipped in water to prevent sticking).
  • Place the rice base in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to set.

Assemble the Toppings

  • Carefully layer thin slices of sushi-grade fish or your chosen alternative on the rice base.
  • Arrange avocado, cucumber, and nori strips artistically across the surface.
  • Drizzle spicy mayo and soy sauce over the pizza for added flavor.

Add Finishing Touches

  • Sprinkle sesame seeds and optional tobiko or masago for a pop of texture and color.
  • Garnish with pickled ginger or wasabi on the side for extra zing.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi pizza into wedges, just like a traditional pizza.
  • Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping and enjoy the fusion of flavors!
