1. Preheat your oven to 475°F. If you have a pizza stone, pop it in the oven while it heats up. This step ensures a crispy crust that’s just like the pizzerias.
2. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. I like mine a bit thin for that perfect balance of crispy and chewy.
3. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread it evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the ricotta cheese.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle the hot honey over the top. Use as much or as little as your heart desires.
9. Sprinkle the pizza with red pepper flakes and top with fresh basil leaves.
10. Slice it up and serve hot, letting the gooey cheese and spicy honey meld together for a perfect bite.

Pro tip: If you’re cooking with kids, let them handle the honey drizzle. It’s a small task that makes them feel like a part of the magic!
