Pizza with Fontina, Prosciutto, and ArugulaRomulo Yanes

No time to heat up a pizza stone? This easy alternative method yields a crisp crust in just minutes. Good-quality cheese, olive oil, and prosciutto go a long way toward making the pie truly memorable.

Cooks' note:

In place of the Fontina, you can use 1 pound smoked mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
