Recipe Notes

Tip:

For a BLT Pizza, omit basil and olive oil. Prepare pizza as directed, adding chopped cooked bacon. Top with shredded iceberg lettuce and drizzle with mayonnaise after baking.

Use your Grill:

Top pizza crust with sauce and cheese. Place directly on grill heated to medium-high. Grill 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is browned on bottom. Transfer to cutting board. Top with basil, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.
