Equipment

  • Pizza Cutter

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough large enough for four people (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ cup basil pesto
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated or thinly sliced (preferably fresh)
  • 2 cups corn kernels (slice these fresh off the cobs for the best flavor)
  • 20 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup red onion, diced
  • 4 ounces goat cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it heats up.
  • Stretch the pizza dough into rounds and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Top the pizza with pesto, mozzarella cheese, corn, tomatoes, and red onion. Crumble the goat cheese over the top.
  • Bake until the mozzarella is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Slice and serve.

Notes

Pizza Dough - I like this homemade pizza dough or use store-bought dough. (Trader Joe's and Whole Foods both have great pre-made pizza dough.)
