Instructions

Preheat the Oven – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Puff Pastry – Carefully unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a rolling pin to gently roll it into a rectangle, about 10×12 inches. Lightly score a 1/2-inch border around the edge without cutting all the way through; this helps create a raised crust. Brush the border with olive oil.
Add the Sauce – Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the center of the pastry, avoiding the border so the edges puff and turn golden.
Layer the Toppings – Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then add your chosen toppings. Finish by sprinkling Italian seasoning over the whole pizza.
Bake – Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and deeply golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Finish and Serve – Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes. Garnish with torn fresh basil, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Be sure to fully thaw the puff pastry, but work quickly while it’s still cold for best flakiness.
Customize your pizza with any combination of meats, cheeses, or vegetables you like—just don’t overdo it on toppings to keep the pastry crisp.
For a vegetarian option, load up with mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, and olives.
Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
