Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a round shape.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Drizzle olive oil over the pizza and season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
