garlic marinara pizza

If you have a pizza stone then you can bake it directly on the stone sprinkled with some cornmeal. 15 cloves of garlic may seem like a lot but note I use PICKLED garlic which is mild in flavor, similar to roasted garlic. Make sure to use firm tomatoes since they won't make a soggy pizza, which is yuck.
