Number Of Ingredients 9

One 6.5-ounce can clams, drained with 3 tablespoons juice reserved
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
3 cloves garlic, pressed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pizza dough
1/2 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine the clams, the reserved clam juice, olive oil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.
Spread the pizza dough into a large oval on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and half of the Pecorino Romano. Scatter over the clam mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the dough.
Bake until the crust is golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board and sprinkle over the remaining Pecorino Romano, some fresh oregano leaves and more red pepper flakes. Slice and serve.
