- Place the flour tortilla on the sheet pan and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Brush to oil over the entire surface of the tortilla including the edges. If the surface is not coated, drizzle a few more drops of oil and brush again.
- Flip the tortilla over and repeat the oil and brushing.
- Place the sheet pan into the oven and heat for 2½-3 minutes or until the tortilla starts to puff a little bit. Remove pan, flip the tortilla to the opposite side and flatten out any puffiness with a metal spatula.
- Return pan to the oven for another 2½ minutes. Remove from oven and flip the tortilla over to the opposite side.
- Top pizza, starting with the cheese. Dollop the sauce evenly over the cheese, then add pepperoni (or other toppings).

- Remove from ovenand top with fresh herbs, if desired.
- Cut pizza into slices and serve.
