Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C), and place a pizza stone inside if available for a crispy crust.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick, and transfer it to a floured baking sheet or pizza stone.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional minute.
  5. Spread the garlic sauce over the prepared pizza dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
  6. Dollop ricotta cheese on the sauce, then layer shredded mozzarella on top, followed by grated parmesan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.
