Instructions
Preheat oven to 475F (245C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
Spread the pesto sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a half-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked poultry, halved cherry tomatoes, and remaining cheese.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes before slicing and serving.
