Lemon cuts the smokiness of the mozzarella; basil, even after seven minutes in the oven, adds a touch of freshness. The bites with lemon slices are big — tart and tangy and refreshing all at the same time; the bites without beg for one.

Cooking Instructions
1.
If using a pizza stone, arrange a rack in the upper third of the oven and place stone on rack; preheat oven to its hottest setting, 500 degrees–550 degrees F (260-290 degrees C) for 1 hour. If using a baking sheet, arrange a rack in the middle of oven and preheat to 500 degrees–550 degrees F (260-290 degrees C).
2.
Dust Fresh Pizza Dough (8 oz) generously with flour and place on a floured work surface. Meanwhile, soak slices of Lemon (1) in water for 15 minutes, then pat dry. Slice the Smoked Mozzarella Cheese (3 oz).
3.
Place dough on a rimmed baking sheet and stretch, using your fingers, until it is approximately 8 to 10 inches in diameter.
4.
Distribute 3 ounces of cheese over the surface, leaving a 1-inch rim. Arrange the lemon over the cheese and tuck in the Fresh Basil Leaves (5) then drizzle everything lightly with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed), including the rim of the crust.
5.
Place on highest rack in the oven and bake until puffy, about 6 minutes; then turn on the broiler and broil until the crust takes on some color, 30-60 seconds. Remove pizza from oven and serve.
