Featuring a golden, homemade stuffed crust filled with creamy cheese, this recipe takes traditional pizza to luxurious new heights. Succulent, zesty prawns pair perfectly with the brightness of fresh lemon zest, while layers of melted mozzarella and Parmesan create an irresistibly cheesy topping.

Perfectly crisp yet tender, this pizza bakes to perfection in just 15 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a sophisticated yet quick dinner. Serve it hot for an indulgent, crowd-pleasing meal packed with citrusy seafood vibes and creamy surprises in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
Spread the cream cheese in a thin strip about 1 inch from the edge of the dough. Fold the edge over the cream cheese and press to seal, creating a stuffed crust.
Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make handling easier.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture all over the pizza dough, including the stuffed crust.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella evenly over the base of the pizza.
Arrange the cooked prawns, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach on top of the cheese layer. Scatter the lemon zest over the toppings.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the top.
Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, lemony, prawn-filled delight with the added surprise of a creamy crust!
