One delicious basil pizza recipe I recommend is a Margherita pizza. Start with a pre-made pizza crust, spread tomato sauce on top, sprinkle with fresh mozzarella cheese, and top with fresh basil leaves. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy the classic flavors of this simple and tasty pizza!

Pizza Margherita is a pizza topped with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella, and extra virgin olive oil. The colors are the colors of the Itallian flag. If you do not want to make the pizza from scratch, buy a frozen 4-cheese pizza and add fresh sliced tomato slices, basil and a light sprinkling of garlic powder. Yum.
