Roll out the puff pastry to fit your baking sheet.

Transfer the rolled pastry to a lined baking sheet, pressing the edges to form a crust.

Brush the pastry with olive oil.

Spread a layer of tomato sauce evenly over the pastry.

Sprinkle shredded whole milk mozzarella over the sauce.

Add cubes of fresh mozzarella on top for extra cheesiness.

Grate fresh parmesan cheese and add it on top.
