Preparation

  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the pizza.
Baking
  1. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serving
  1. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve hot!
