Tomato, Basil, Feta and Garlic Pizza
I was craving a margarita pizza for lunch, so my son and I decided to make our own version. We made this fresh tomato, basil, feta, and garlic pizza and had a great time making lunch together. My son spread the sauce and cheese all over the dough and did a great job! We all really loved this vegetarian pizza and thought it paired well with a tossed salad and a fruit salad. My daughter wants the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Tomato, Basil, Feta, and Garlic Pizza
Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- A sprinkling of cornmeal
- 1 ball of pizza dough (I used store-bought); let it rest out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before spreading it on the baking pan
- 1 cup of pizza sauce
- 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup of feta cheese crumbles
- 1 large clove of garlic, finely minced
- 7 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1-2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Serving:
- Parmesan, freshly grated
How to Make a Tomato, Basil, Feta, and Garlic Pizza:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Coat the pizza tray with cooking spray, then sprinkle it evenly with a little cornmeal.
Let the dough rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before spreading it out on the baking tray.
Spread the dough on a pizza sheet to your desired size.
Spoon the sauce on the dough and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese all over, followed by the feta.
Next, carefully spread the minced garlic all over the pizza; don’t drop in large clumps!
Top with half of the fresh chopped basil.
Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Add the sliced tomatoes and remaining fresh basil, then season with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste. Enjoy.

Have you tried looking in the deli aisle. A local pizzeria may sell pizza dough to your grocery. They do that where I live.
