This margherita flatbread pizza is one of the quickest and yummiest ways to enjoy pizza. Grab a store-bought flatbread pizza crust, jazz it up with your favorite toppings and wait for just 10 minutes while it bakes in the oven. And did I tell you that this pizza recipe doesn’t call for any sauce for the topping base? The crispy thin crust and the fresh combination of tomato-garlic-basil topping make it taste so satisfying that you hardly miss the sauce! This pizza recipe is particularly great to satisfy sudden pizza craving or when you have some surprise guests to feed.
