Lemon Pizza is a unique and refreshing twist on traditional pizza, topped with creamy ricotta and fresh basil, perfect for a summer night.

Pizza dough: 1 lb (store-bought or homemade)

Olive oil: 2 tablespoons

Fresh lemons: 2 (zested and juiced)

Ricotta cheese: 1 cup

Mozzarella cheese: 1 cup (shredded)

Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup (grated)

Fresh basil leaves: 1/4 cup (chopped)

Salt and pepper: to taste

Honey: 1 tablespoon (optional

for drizzling)

Red pepper flakes: a pinch (optional

for a spicy kick)

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil.
Spread ricotta cheese evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Zest and juice the lemons, then drizzle both the zest and juice over the cheese.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, and drizzle with honey (if desired).
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

For an extra flavor kick, try adding a pinch of lemon zest on top before serving. This pizza pairs well with a crisp white wine.
