Ingredients
- Whole Wheat Pizza Crust– 1 pizza crust all ready to use for making this pizza.
- Olive Oil– 2 tablespoons.
- Canned Tomatoes- Use crushed tomatoes or diced tomatoes depending on what you prefer. About ½ to ¾ cup depending on the size of your pizza crust. Drain out most of the liquid before using the tomatoes as well.

- Basil- about 10-12 leaves depending on the size of the leaves and the size of your pizza.
- Roma or similar sized tomatoes- 3-4 sliced.
Instructions
- Here is how to make my Mediterranean Diet Margherita Pizza Recipe.Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. If you are using a pizza stone simply place it in the center of the oven on a rack.
- Layout a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface. This is what we will use to prepare our pizza on and also transfer it with. I love parchment paper for this reason too!
- Roll out the pizza crust that you have prepared on to the parchment paper in order to make your crust. I like to use a small rolling pin to do this with. If you want a thin crust pizza aim for about ½″ thickness of the crust.
- Sprinkle some of the olive oil on top of the pizza crust. About a tablespoon should work.
- Now we will cover the crust with the tomatoes from the can. Distribute these tomatoes so that they reach to about ½″ away from the edge of the crust.
- Next, distribute the cheese according to the amount of cheese that you have decided to use. For a minimum of cheese, simply place slices on the pizza strategically so that every slice gets a bit. Cheese lovers on the other hand, or anyone else, can distribute grated cheese to cover the pizza.
- Top the pizza with the remaining ingredients which should be evenly and strategically distributed to make the pizza look nice and taste good.
- Use the parchment paper to transfer the pizza to your oven.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until it begins to brown around the edges and appears to be done.
