Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Shape the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large heart shape. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
