Pear Arugula Pizza

My friend, Bridgette Server, had a few friends over for pizza last fall and this one was a surprise favorite! We had this today with Chelsea and Russell.  They're staying with us during the Covid-19 quarantine.
Ingredients:
2 pizza crusts (any plain recipe will do.  I use the one that comes with the bread machine)
Lemon Infused olive oil
Kosher salt
Thinly sliced pears
Prosciutto
Red onions, thinly sliced
Balsamic glaze
Fresh Mozzarella
Arugula
Honey
Instructions:
Drizzle the olive oil over the stretched dough and sprinkle with salt.  Bake 500° for 5 minutes. Layer the rest of the ingredients on except the arugula and honey. Bake for about 8 minutes or until bubbly.  Immediately toss arugula on top then drizzle with a little olive oil, balsamic glaze and honey. Enjoy! Serves around 6 people.
Here's the link to the lemon oil Bridgette uses.  There are cheaper ones but I don't know if they're as good:
