This easy margarita pizza recipe is a homemade margherita pizza made with thin crust, shredded mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, basil, and balsamic glaze. It is fresh, cheesy, simple, and perfect for pizza night at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Optional:

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Extra olive oil, for finishing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone or baking steel, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  • Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes if it has been refrigerated.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and stretch the dough into a large thin circle or rectangle.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled baking sheet, pizza pan, or parchment paper.
  • Brush the dough with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Add the fresh mozzarella pieces over the shredded mozzarella.
  • Arrange thin Roma tomato slices over the cheese.
  • Season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Let the pizza rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Top with fresh basil, balsamic glaze, and Parmesan if using.
  • Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use both shredded mozzarella and fresh mozzarella for the best texture.
  • Pat fresh mozzarella dry if it is very wet.
  • Roma tomatoes work well because they are less watery than larger tomatoes.
  • Add basil after baking so it stays fresh and bright.
  • Balsamic glaze is optional, but it gives the pizza a restaurant-style finish.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven, air fryer, toaster oven, or skillet.
