Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to achieve a crispy crust.
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
Spread ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
Arrange pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese layer.
Drizzle hot honey generously over the pepperoni.
Brush the exposed crust with olive oil for flavor and crispness.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top just before serving.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm.
