This pizza has a ton of rich flavor thanks to marinated grilled artichokes and dollops of creamy goat cheese. A little bit of browned pancetta tossed in for a delicious bacon flavor and a crunchy, chewy texture. Thick slices of fresh tomato give it such beautiful color.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 8-10 Marinated Artichoke Hearts
