Prepare the Dough:
- Either use the dough recipe from our website or explore Dave’s recipe archives for a delightful pizza dough. Place the dough in a 12-inch pan, ensuring an even spread.

Olive Oil and Garlic Magic:
- Brush the pizza dough with a generous tablespoon of olive oil, infusing it with rich flavors. Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them over the olive oil-covered dough, creating a fragrant base for your pizza.

Tomato Symphony:

Zucchini Artistry:
- Scatter the sliced zucchini evenly across the pizza, ensuring that each slice is adorned with this green delight. Zucchini adds a crisp texture and a mild, earthy flavor to balance the dish.

Cheese Extravaganza:
- Now, let’s talk about the cheese! Sprinkle a cup of mozzarella cheese, ensuring it covers the entire pizza. For an extra cheesy kick, add a cup of pre-shredded mozzarella cheese. Top it off with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, creating a gooey, golden crust.

Bake to Perfection:
- Preheat your oven to a toasty 400-425°F (200-220°C). Place your pizza creation in the hot oven and let it bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the dough is perfectly done, and the cheese has melted into a gooey, irresistible goodness.
