Instructions
- Prepare Garlic Oil by combining grated garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
- Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Preheat oven to 500°F. (Do not remove pizza stone while oven preheats.)Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface and lightly sprinkle with flour or corn meal. Place pizza dough on parchment paper, and sprinkle dough with more flour for easy handling.Roll and stretch out dough to create a 12 to 14" round. Brush garlic oil all over pizza dough. Top with slices of mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.Spoon DeLallo Tomato Bruschetta over the pizza, followed by fresh basil. Finish with a generous drizzle with balsamic glaze and slice into 8 pieces.
Notes
- If your grocery store doesn't offer fresh pizza dough (I buy ours from Whole Foods or Trader Joes), I highly recommend using DeLallo Pizza Dough Mix. It's made in 3 easy steps just by adding water.
- To Store. Place a single layer of pizza slices on a dinner plate or Tupperware container and top with a layer of parchment paper. Keep stacking, alternating pizza and paper, until all the pizza is assembled. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- To Reheat. Here are the top ways to reheat leftover pizza:
- Air-fryer: Set the air-fryer to 350ºF and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until warm and crisp.
- Stove-top: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 or 2 pizza slices and and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered. On the side of the pan (not on the pizza), add a few drops of water, immediately cover, and cook pizza for a few more minutes, until heated through.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place the pizza on a piece of foil and put it directly on the center oven rack for even heating on the top and bottom. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until warm.
