Just bring it to room temperature before rolling out.

- Spread sauce over the pizza crust. Sprinkle with cheese and dot with pepperoni. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and parmesan.
- Bake until browned, puffed, and bubbling, 16 to 20 minutes.
- To make the salad, slice romaine hearts in half lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Heat a grill pan over high heat and sear romain hearts cut side down until charred, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and coarsely chop. Drizzle with dressing, cheese, and croutons.
