Tomato Basil Homemade Pizza
We are homemade pizza lovers around these parts, as I’m sure most of you are already aware. I make pizza about once a week with my super easy pizza crust and I always change it up with various toppings. Recently, I made a tomato basil homemade pizza which was incredibly easy and delish, so I’m excited to share it with you!
Tomato Basil Homemade Pizza
- Pizza dough – I use my fail-proof easy pizza crust
- 3 Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced and carmelized
- 1 cup pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce
- 1/4 cup basil pesto – I bought mine, but it can be made at home.
- Fresh mozzarella, sliced
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Sea Salt, Pepper – I just grind it fresh over the cheese.
- Italian seasoning, optional
Make pizza dough and spread on pizza stone or lightly oiled cookie sheet. Spread pizza sauce over dough then gently spread basil pesto over the sauce. Add sliced tomatoes, onions, fresh mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Add freshly ground salt and pepper to taste.
We like Italian seasonings, but I know some people think it’s too strong, so it is optional. 🙂
Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and top is browning. Remove from oven and wait 5 minutes before slicing to avoid cheese strings.
Enjoy!

Thanks Kim! 🙂 I hope your family will love it! 🙂
That is my favorite pizza. I always just buy pizza dough at the local pizza place for crust if I decide to make a homemade one. Also, I like to use pita bread in the toaster oven. Yummy!
That looks amazing! I haven’t ventured into the world of homemade pizza crust yet. I think I might have to!

That looks so incredibly awesome! I think I’m going to work pizza onto our menu this week 🙂
Sounds and looks delish! We are pizza lovers around here too.
Yum! I love all kinds of pizza…but there is something about homemade pizza that just makes me happy.
I made a pizza before and found it easy enough. It just has the basic ingredients. Finally, I can have another use for my oven. I am looking forward to test my pizza making skills again and give your recipe a try. Your pizza looks delicious. I feel so hungry just looking at it.
