Shaping pizza dough into a heart makes a healthy vegetable pizza whimsical and fun. Slices of red pepper form decorative hearts on the pizza too. For the best heart shape, use a pepper that has a deep curve at the stem.

Prep

Ready In
- Position rack in lowest spot in oven and place a pizza stone on the rack. Preheat to 450°F.
- Cut pepper in half vertically. Remove stem and seeds. Cut vertical slices so each resembles a half-heart shape.
- Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal. Cut a wide V shape at the top of the circle. (Reserve the cut-out piece for another use.) Round out the tops on either side of the V and pull and pinch the bottom of the circle to a point, so the dough resembles a heart.
- Spread sauce evenly over the dough. Top with cheese. Arrange pepper slices facing each other to make heart shapes over the pizza. Transfer to the heated pizza stone. Bake until the crust is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 13 to 14 minutes.
