Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to an approximately 12-inch circle. If it's sticky, dust lightly with more flour.
Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough. Spread the minced garlic over the oil for added flavor.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Distribute the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the mozzarella.
Top the pizza with julienned sun-dried tomatoes and quartered artichoke hearts, ensuring an even distribution.
Season the pizza with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer a hint of spice.
Carefully place the pizza in the oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil for a burst of freshness.
Allow the pizza to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
