Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (232Β°C).
Place the whole wheat pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and distribute them evenly over the sauce.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them over the tomatoes.
Tear or chop the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the top of the pizza.
Sprinkle oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the pizza.
Lightly spray the pizza with olive oil spray to add a touch of flavor and prevent burning.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the top is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
