For a crispier crust, place your pan on the bottom rack of your oven.
Once the pizza is out of the oven, top it with handfuls of fresh arugula.
Feel free to get generous!
Sprinkle on red pepper flakes (the more you add, the spicier it gets!)

You could even skip the balsamic blaze and replace it with a spicy hot honey.
Cooley says prosciutto also works well with this recipe, a sweet soppressata or a spicy salami.
