    1 (9-ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and drained or 1 small can

    1. Position oven rack to lowest setting. Preheat oven to 500° F.
    2. Sprinkle pizza stone with cornmeal. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface and place on pizza stone. Spread the pesto evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over pesto. Place pizza stone on the bottom oven rack; bake at 500° for 5 minutes. Remove pizza from oven.
    3. Coarsely chop artichokes. Arrange artichokes on pizza; top with sliced prosciutto. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Return pizza to the bottom oven rack; bake an additional 6 minutes or until crust is browned.
    4. Place arugula in a bowl. Drizzle juice over arugula; toss gently. Top the pizza with arugula mixture.
