Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the dough, distributing it evenly.
Carefully transfer the dough (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crust is cooked through.
While the crust is baking, combine the cream cheese and sour cream in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly for 3-5 minutes.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Arrange the smoked salmon slices evenly across the top of the pizza.
Scatter the thinly sliced red onion and capers over the salmon.
In a small bowl, toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Distribute the dressed arugula and chopped dill over the pizza as a fresh topping.
Cut into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your gourmet Smoked Salmon Pizza!
