Preheat your oven to 240°C (475°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the pancetta and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the pancetta and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt.
Brush the remaining olive oil over the pizza dough. Spread the garlic evenly over the top.
Pour the cream mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the cooked pancetta evenly over the top.
Top the pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
