Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the prebaked pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly distribute the chopped artichoke hearts and lump crab meat over the cream cheese base.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the toppings.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
Cut into slices or small squares and serve immediately. Enjoy!
