Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper sheet for easy handling.

Step 3

Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough, especially the edges, for a golden crust.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by half of the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the cooked shrimp, scallops, calamari rings, and mussels across the pizza.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the seafood toppings.

Step 9

Season the pizza with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 10

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 13

Allow the pizza to rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
