Prep the DoughPreheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness. I love mine a little thinner for an extra crisp bite.

Brush and BaseTransfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza peel if you’re using a stone. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil — it helps the crust turn golden and adds a subtle richness.

Layer the RicottaSpread the ricotta cheese over the crust, leaving a small border. Season it gently with salt and pepper to bring out the creaminess.

Add the Blackberries and CheeseDot the pizza with fresh blackberries. Use the back of a spoon to slightly mash a few — this helps their juices mix into the ricotta as it bakes. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top to help everything melt together beautifully.

Bake to Golden PerfectionSlide your pizza into the oven and bake for about 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned in spots.

Garnish and DrizzleOnce out of the oven, scatter the chopped basil across the hot pizza — the residual heat will slightly wilt the leaves, intensifying their aroma. Finish with a generous drizzle of honey over the top.

Slice and ServeLet it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the symphony of sweet berries, creamy cheese, and fragrant basil in every bite.
