Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Place the gluten-free pizza crust on a piece of parchment paper. Brush the crust lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Arrange the sliced mozzarella evenly over the crust, leaving a small border. Top with sliced tomatoes, overlapping slightly. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and black pepper.
Carefully slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is crisp.
Remove from the oven. Scatter the torn fresh basil leaves over the hot pizza. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, if using.
Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
