Follow the instructions to make the best yeast pizza dough or prep a store bought pizza dough by letting it sit out at room temperature until the oven is preheated.

Place a pizza stone or pizza pan in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium/high heat. Add tomatoes. Cover with lid and cook for 7 minutes.

Reduce heat to low. Use a wooden spoon to burst the tomatoes and mash them up a bit.

Add garlic and butter and garlic to the pan. Mix to combine. Cook on low for 5 minutes. After five minutes remove the pan from heat. Let the sauce cool slightly.

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about a 12 inch circumference.

Carefully remove the hot pizza pan from the oven. Transfer the dough to the hot pan and top with tomato garlic butter sauce and mozzarella. If you are using a pizza stone, prepare the pizza and then transfer to the stone. Bake for 10 minutes.

Top with fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes. Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
