Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Blend all of the pesto ingredients in a food processor. Add enough oil to make it a pourable sauce consistency. Taste for salt and pepper.
Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Place on a rimmed baking sheet drizzled with olive oil. Spread out an even layer of pesto on the pizza dough. Top with shredded parmesan or shredded mozzarella from the bag. Bake until the crust is golden brown (about 10-15 minutes, depending on your pizza size).
Meanwhile, prepare the salad. Toss the arugula with lemon, pesto, avocado and pistachios. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
When the pizza comes out of the oven, top it with arugula, olive oil, torn burrata pieces, salt, and pepper.
