Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup heavy cream
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated (1/4 cup)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Quick and Easy Pizza Dough
5 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, such as Polly-O, thinly sliced
2 1/2 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni (1/2 cup)
5 ounces ricotta (2/3 cup)
