1 Premade thin and crispy pizza crust - like the 'Your Mama's Favorite' or 'Boboli' brand
Extra virgin olive oil
1 - 14.5 oz can of petite diced tomatoes - completely drained
12 disks natural whole milk mozzarella cheese - 2" diameter and 1/4" thick
Ground black pepper
More extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Basil - chopped
Kosher salt
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil the entire surface of the pizza crust (I just squirt a little oil on and rub it over the crust with my hands. Spread the well drained tomatoes over the crust leaving 1/2" uncovered at the outer edge. Arrange cheese disks on the pizza. Grind the pepper lightly over the entire pizza. Bake directly on the middle rack in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove pizza from oven and on to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with basil and salt to taste. Drizzle lightly with more extra virgin olive oil.
~Note: This should be served immediately while the cheese is nice and gooey. This is a delicious pizza, but you should eat it right away because it's not so great as leftovers.
Serves 4 as a main dish. Or 6 to 8 as an appetizer
