Notes
Any leftover heirloom tomato pizza can be wrapped with plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container and put in the fridge for up 1-week.
If you can't find any heirloom tomatoes free feel to use whatever you have on hand!
While Garlic butter is 100% my first choice for this pizza, you can also use pizza sauce, tomato sauce white sauce, basil pesto, or even just olive oil seasoned with salt and black pepper as your sauce.
Normally I serve this pizza as is, but it's also great topped with fresh greens, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes!
Personally, I don't have a pizza stone, but if you do, feel free to use it for baking this recipe!
