Spread the prepared garlic pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Top with grated mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through and the cheeses are melted.

Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chiffonade basil before serving.
