Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the whole wheat pizza crust on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the minced garlic.
Brush the garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the pizza crust.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the baby bella, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, until they are soft and golden. Season with salt and black pepper.
Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the garlic-brushed crust.
Sprinkle the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the mushroom layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the crust edges are golden and crispy.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Top the pizza with fresh basil leaves, lemon zest, arugula, and a pinch of red chili flakes for a touch of heat.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the arugula-topped pizza.
Slice the pizza into 8 slices and serve immediately.
