1 recipe fathead crust, or traditional pizza crust *recipe link is in notes and body of post

2 cloves garlic chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1 6.5 oz can chopped clams drained
1/4 teaspoon oregano dried
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese grated
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional, depends on how spicy you like it.
2 cups baby arugula
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 juiced lemon

Mix the olive oil and the garlic together and let rest while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 425°. If you are using the fathead dough follow the directions through step 4. When your crust is ready to fill with toppings go ahead and brush the garlic oil all over the crust. Scatter the clams and mozzarella all around then drizzle with any remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with the oregano, parmesan, red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes until everything is nice and melted.
Toss the arugula with the oil and lemon juice and top the hot pizza. slice the pizza and enjoy!
If you are a family divided just halve the ingredients and do the other half however the rest of the family likes!
