Ingredients

• 1 ball Pizza dough
• 1 pound Fresh clams
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Rinse the clams thoroughly under cold water, then steam them in a medium saucepan with a bit of water over medium heat until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.

Step 3

Remove the clam meat from the shells and roughly chop it. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

On a floured surface, stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough onto parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 6

Brush the garlic-infused olive oil evenly onto the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza base.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the chopped clams over the cheese layer. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Carefully slide the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle it with chopped parsley and lemon zest for freshness.

Step 11

Slice and serve hot, optionally with a lemon wedge for an extra zing.
