Margarita Pizza

I LOVE PIZZA!!!! Always have, always will! I love all kinds! I have always believe that I could eat pizza everyday and never tire of it...whether that true or not, I don't know...I'm really not that deep...

But one of my favorites is Margarita Pizza... While searching the internet, I realize that a lot of people make this with sauce, which is entirely new to me. I've only had it with sliced fresh tomatoes...oh, well, to each their own.

I did cheat a little bit , I usually make my own dough, but tonight I used store bought. It makes it a super fast, easy dinner when you have the dough already prepared.


Margarita Pizza

2 thinly sliced tomatoes (I used Roma tomatoes, it's what I had on hand)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
8oz fresh mozzarella sliced
fresh basil leaves
1 tsp pizza seasoning (I use King Arthur Pizza Seasoning. It is excellent in a lot of recipes, pizzas, garlic bread, etc.)
olive oil

Preheat over to 400 degrees.

Slice tomatoes and mozzarella. Mince garlic. You can break up basil into smaller pieces if you wish, I use the whole leaf.



Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and drizzle a small amount of olive oil and spread around. Set aside.


Put a little flour on working area and work dough into a large rectangle as best as you can. Mine always comes out more oval. :) Place on baking sheet. Dizzle a little olive oil and spread around dough. Sprinkle 1 tsp of pizza seasoning and garlic on dough.



Place tomatoes, basil and mozzarella in single layer.

Put in oven for 15 minutes. Then I turned the oven to broil and cooked for additional 2 minutes. (I love the brown bubbles it makes with the cheese.)

  11. I love pizza too! I attempted to my make my own dough and I failed miserablely. There is a restaurant down the street from us that makes fresh pizza just like I would if I could make my own dough. I don't put cheese on mine but man it is delis! Well, that settled I am having pizza for dinner tonight!

  14. I love Margarita Pizza. I have a basil plant and Margarita Pizza is one of my favorite ways to use it up.

    In a pinch I have used store bought cheese pizza and added tomatoe, garlic, basil and cheese to it. It has worked out well with my family.

  19. Margherita is the ONLY pizza I eat - it is an on going joke with my friends!!! I tell you what is nice too- I put the topping on half of the pizza, fold it over, seal it and then put it on the top of it too!!! So yummy!! I tend to just use tomato puree so I'm not sure how it would work with sliced tomatos or whether it would be too much.

    Just stopping by from Friendly Friday!
