Recipe View Serve: Remove from oven, drizzle with a touch of extra virgin olive oil, slice, and serve immediately.

For a crispier crust, preheat your pizza stone in the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking.
If you don't have dried figs, you can use fresh figs when in season. Slice them thinly and add them to the pizza along with the goat cheese.
A balsamic glaze can be drizzled over the finished pizza for an extra touch of sweetness and acidity.
Try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

    The crust came out perfectly crispy using the pizza stone trick!

    Next time, I might try adding some prosciutto for a salty element.
