Step 1

Remove pizza dough from fridge. Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium bowl. Add pizza dough to bowl and toss in oil. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour to warm up. As the dough warms up, it will grow, which is good.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix ricotta cheese with minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Punch dough down with your fist to remove air bubbles. Place pizza dough on a large baking sheet and spread with your fingers until dough is 1/4 inch thick, leaving a slight lip around the edges for the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the crust, leaving a inch clear from the edges. Then, place ricotta cheese mixture on top, in 6 dollops. Next, place basil leaves all over the pizza. Finish with sprinkles of Pecorino Romano cheese and drizzle of last tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Bake pizza in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and crust turns slightly golden brown. Let it cool for 2 minutes. Slice into 8 even slices and then serve.
