Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Brush 9 wells, of a standard size muffin/cupcake pan with olive oil.
Roll out pizza crust dough to desired thickness. Use a large biscut cutter (or rim of a peanut butter jar) to cut out 9 circles of dough, and press into bottom and up sides of muffin pan. Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasonings, if desired.
Spoon a scant tablespoon of sauce onto each dough cup, and spread up the sides. Top with shredded cheese and toppings of choice.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges start to turn golden brown. Transfer to wire rack for 2-4 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm.
