Ingredients

Scale

For the Pizza:

  • 1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup artichoke pesto (store-bought or homemade, recipe below)
  • 6–8 oz burrata cheese, torn into pieces
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Olive oil, for brushing

For the Lemony Arugula:

  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes:

  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Shaved Parmesan
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. This ensures a crispy crust.
  • Prepare the Pizza Dough:
    Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into your desired shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
  • Assemble the Pizza:
    • Brush the edges of the dough lightly with olive oil.
    • Spread the artichoke pesto evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Distribute the torn burrata and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the Pizza:
    Carefully transfer the pizza (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.
  • Prepare the Lemony Arugula:
    While the pizza bakes, toss the arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Finish the Pizza:
    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes. Top with the dressed arugula and optional garnishes like crushed red pepper flakes, shaved Parmesan, or fresh basil.
  • Serve:
    Slice and serve immediately for a beautifully balanced, flavorful pizza!

Notes

  • You can use store-bought artichoke pesto or make your own using a combination of artichoke hearts, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan.
  • For a bit of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top before serving.
