Step 1

Place a pizza stone in the oven. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F, allowing the stone to get hot.

Step 2

Shape the pizza dough on a floured surface into an 8-inch round and 1/4-inch thick. Transfer it to a pizza peel lined with parchment paper. Reshape if necessary.

Step 3

Gently brush the dough with the olive oil, then evenly spread the marinara sauce on, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle the garlic over the top. Top with the mozzarella slices and tomatoes, leaving space in between.

Step 4

Slide the parchment with the crust onto the heated stone. Bake for 8-10 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle the basil over the top, along with 1-2 grinds of fresh black pepper.

Step 5

Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
