Method
 

Pizza Preparation
  1. If your pizza dough has been in the fridge, let it sit on the counter for at least 1 hour to come to room temperature.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°F and dust a quarter sheet pan or jelly roll pan with cornmeal.
  3. Stretch the pizza dough to fit the pan, pressing it into the corners.
  4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, or until the spinach is just wilted.
  5. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  6. Top with the mozzarella and provolone cheeses, sprinkling them all the way to the edges of the pan.
  7. Arrange the sautéed spinach and garlic over the area covered by the sauce, then sprinkle on the Parmesan.
  8. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cut side up, on top. Drizzle with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through and the cheese is browned and bubbling.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes before topping with basil and red pepper flakes, slicing, and serving.
