Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza dough from the refrigerated section or homemade
  • 1 organic lemon
  • 1 ball (5.5 oz.) mozzarella
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • freshly ground black pepper optional
  • chili flakes optional

For the lemon sauce:

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove grated
  • 1 tsp lemon zest grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp fine salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Using your fingers, roll it out until the pizza is about 9 x 13 inches. Then carefully place the dough on a piece of parchment paper or a baking mat on your work surface.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Wash the lemon with hot water and zest it. Cut it in two, juice one half and slice the other.
  • Transfer all the ingredients for the sauce into a sealable container. Seal it and then shake vigorously until everything is well combined.
  • Using your fingers, making a few small indentations in the pizza dough. Now, spread the sauce evenly over the dough, making sure to fill the indentations with it.
  • Cut the mozzarella into ½-inch thick pieces. If it's very watery, pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Spread it evenly over the pizza.
  • Top the pizza with the lemon slices.
  • Set the pizza on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • Drizzle the freshly baked pizza with fresh lemon juice, then sprinkle the Parmesan and parsley on top. Optionally add some black pepper or a pinch of chili flakes before serving.
