Creating your Lemon Pizza is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your pizza crust, typically around 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: Place the pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone, ready for toppings.
3. Make the Ricotta Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice. Mix until well incorporated.
4. Spread the Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the ricotta mixture over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Add the Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer, ensuring an even distribution.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the top of the cheese mixture. This will help in browning and adding flavor.
7. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
8. Add Fresh Lemon: Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the top for an added citrus kick.
9. Garnish: Finish by adding fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
10. Slice and Serve: Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Following these steps will help you create an incredible Lemon Pizza that is sure to impress family and friends.
