- pizza stone
- Rolling Pin
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 12–14 oz Pizza dough Store-bought or homemade
For the Topping
- 1 tbsp Olive oil For brushing dough
- 2 cloves Garlic Minced
- 1 Lemon Thinly sliced
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella Shredded or sliced, preferably fresh
- 0.5 tsp Salt

- Chopped parsley For freshness
- Crushed red pepper flakes For a spicy kick

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to a sizzling 475–500°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats up—it’ll create that perfect crispy crust!
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface, stretching it into a lovely 10–12 inch circle.
- Brush the entire surface of the dough with olive oil, then scatter the minced garlic over the top.
- Spread the mozzarella evenly across the dough.
- Arrange the very thin lemon slices over the cheese.
- Season with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and thyme.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–13 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
- Drizzle a little olive oil on top and garnish with parsley, red pepper flakes, or fresh arugula.
- Cool for 1–2 minutes, then slice and dig in!
Notes
For an extra sprinkle of flavor, add a dash of lemon zest before serving.
