Bake and Finish
Transfer the pizza to the hot oven or pizza stone and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the crust is blistered and the cheese is melted and bubbling. While baking, mix honey and sriracha until smooth. Remove pizza from oven, drizzle generously with sriracha honey, and finish with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately.
