Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside to heat as well.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to a 12-inch round and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and evenly spread the minced garlic over the surface.
Spread the unsalted tomato sauce over the garlic, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Arrange the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese evenly across the tomato sauce.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
While the pizza is baking, toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of fresh black pepper.
Once the pizza is out of the oven, lay the low sodium prosciutto slices on top, followed by the dressed arugula.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Slice and serve immediately, enjoying a balanced and flavorful low sodium meal.
