Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
  2. Lightly flour your work surface and roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Brush the top of the pizza dough with olive oil and spread the pizza sauce evenly, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add dollops of ricotta cheese and arrange the pepperoni slices.
  5. Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden.
  6. Remove from the oven, drizzle hot honey over the pizza, garnish with basil if desired, slice, and serve.
