A quick pizza built on matzo crackers, topped with crushed San Marzano tomatoes and mozzarella, then pan-crisped in a skillet for a crackling base.

  1. Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place tomatoes in a fine-mesh strainer and break apart with your fingers into rough 1/2-inch chunks. Toss in strainer over sink to drain all excess liquid.

  2. Place matzos on a foil-lined baking sheet. Spread half of mozzarella evenly over matzos, then transfer to oven. Bake until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and add tomatoes to matzos, distributing in small dollops. Top with remaining mozzarella and other toppings as desired. Season with kosher salt. Return to oven and bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes.

  3. Remove pizza from oven and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Using a wide, stiff spatula, carefully remove 2 pizzas from baking sheet and add to skillet. Cook, swirling and rotating occasionally, until crisp and well-browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Repeat with remaining pizzas. Serve immediately, drizzled with extra olive oil and sprinkled with fresh basil if desired.
