I whipped this pie up when I wanted something fancy but fuss-free, and it quickly became my favorite way to wow friends without stress.

What to Grab

  • Fresh or store-bought pizza crust: pick one that gets nice and crispy when baked
  • Cooked lobster meat: sweet chunks, fresh if possible or good-quality leftovers work
  • Mozzarella: shredded fresh melts best for gooey bites
  • Ricotta: adds a soft, creamy base that tones down the seafood punch
  • Parmesan: fresh grated brings a nutty sharp kick
  • Olive oil: brushed on crust gives color and a mild richness
  • Fresh minced garlic: brings cozy flavor to each bite
  • Dried oregano: a light herby touch to back up the lobster
  • Salt and pepper: needed to lift all those flavors
  • Chopped fresh parsley: a bright, fresh finish and pretty look

Step-By-Step How-To

Heat the Oven:
Crank your oven to 475°F so your crust gets golden and crisp enough to hold everything.
Shape the Crust:
On a floured spot, roll out your dough how you like it. Thin means crunchier, thick means chewier.
Prep the Base:
Put the dough on a baking stone or tray. Spread olive oil over it, then sprinkle garlic so it flavors the crust while it cooks.
Add the Ricotta:
Spread ricotta evenly to make a creamy layer under the toppings.
Scatter the Lobster:
Place lobster pieces all over the cheese for juicy bites in every slice.
Cover with Cheeses and Season:
Top with mozzarella and Parmesan, sprinkle with oregano, and season with salt and pepper to balance it all out.
Bake it Up:
Pop it in the hot oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese bubbles and gets golden.
Finish with Parsley:
Take it out, sprinkle fresh parsley on top, and let it cool a bit so the toppings settle before cutting.

I’m all about that ricotta because it adds a delicate creaminess that lets lobster shine. I once doubled the garlic, which smelled great but was overpowering, so now I keep it mild. Letting the pizza rest after baking helps the cheese set, making it easier to slice.

Heat your oven to 475°F and bake on a pizza stone or tray. About 12 to 15 minutes will crisp up the crust and melt the cheese just right.
