Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it is hot enough for a crispy crust.

Add Pesto
Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Add Cheese and Tomatoes
Tear the fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute them evenly over the pesto. Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them on top.

Drizzle with Garlic Oil
Drizzle the garlic oil over the pizza, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza to a preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
