Roll/stretch and place the dough into a lightly greased pizza pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the asparagus pieces and cook the asparagus until just tender. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
When cooled, spread the asparagus and oil it was cooked in evenly over the dough.
Lightly sprinkle the mozzarella on top of the asparagus.
Nonna Anna cooks the pizza in her gas convection oven at 420F for 20 minutes.
