Another option would be to use leftover marinara.  That is amazing as well.

On top of that you will sprinkle the parmesan cheese and basil.

Something else that would be a great addition here would be some yummy baby spinach!

Add 1 c of Mozzarella Cheese.

Sprinkle some more Parmesan Cheese over the pizza.

Add a little more basil to the top as well.

Now pour the olive oil into a shallow pan and place over medium/high heat.

While the pan of oil is heating up, brush a little the crust.

Combine the Italian seasoning and garlic powder in a small dish and sprinkle over the oiled crust.

This just give the crust some extra flavor and that "WOW" factor.

I have added parmesan cheese to it as well.

Now add the Panko bread crumbs to the heated oil.
Add the remaining Italian seasoning and garlic powder to the pan along with a little salt and pepper.

Allow the bread crumbs to brown.

This doesn't take long at all so you want to keep your eye on it.

Add the crispy bread crumbs to the top of the pizza along with a little more basil.

Place in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes.
