Ingredients
- Cornmeal, for dusting
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded smoked mozzarella cheese
- 1 packed cup (1-ounce) arugula
- Flour, for dusting
- 1 (13 to 16-ounce) ball pizza dough
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
Directions
Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle a heavy baking sheet (without sides) with cornmeal. Set aside.
In a food processor, blend the ricotta, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add the smoked mozzarella and arugula. Pulse until just combined but still chunky. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 14-inch diameter circle, about 1/4 to 1/16-inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Spread the ricotta mixture on top leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the tomato slices on top. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until the crust is golden, about 15 to 16 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut into wedges and serve.

Absolutely amazing! I agree, it was just a tad too cheesy, so maybe I'll leave a bit off next time. I will also try what one other reader suggested-to dice the tomatoes to evenly distribute...but it was still delish as is!

I definitely liked this recipe a lot! I made it for my Grandma and family and they all appreciated it for lunch. We made it with another pizza, the ordinary tomato, mozzarella, and basil pizza and both were gone instantly.
Very simple recipe and a quick clean up too.
A little too cheesy I think, what with the mozzarella (didn't use smoked and all the ricotta, so next time I will take it down a bit. I also added basil to the pesto (about 1/3 cup and it worked fantastically. Will surely make it again!
