Imagine a crispy thin crust, brushed with a garlic-infused olive oil, and baked to perfection. As the crust emerges golden and fragrant, it’s adorned with the finest ingredients nature has to offer. Sun-ripened tomatoes, sliced into juicy rounds, meet the creamy decadence of fresh mozzarella cheese. A handful of basil leaves, aromatic and bright, are scattered over the top, releasing their signature scent.
