Thaw pizza dough according to package directions (if needed).
Preheat oven to 325℉. Place a baking stone or pizza steel on the bottom rack.
(Optional) While the dough is rising, add the peeled garlic cloves and ½ teaspoon salt to a small, oven safe ramekin. Use enough olive oil to just cover the cloves. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The garlic cloves should be golden and soft.
Increase oven temperature to 500℉.
Using 1-2 tablespoons of the roasted garlic oil, toss with the cherry tomatoes, pepper and remaining half teaspoon salt. Roast on a sheet pan in the oven for 10 minutes until blistered and softened. Pop to tomatoes with a fork to allow excess water to flow out. Move the pizza stone to the middle rack of the oven.
Tear the burrata onto a plate, and blot away some of the excess moisture with clean paper towel.
Roll and stretch the dough out until roughly ¼ inch thick. This is a rustic pizza, don’t worry about getting a perfect shape. Top the dough with some of the garlic oil, torn pieces of burrata, roasted garlic cloves, blistered tomatoes, and parmesan. Carefully transfer pizza and bake on the pre-heated stone for 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is firm and browned. Once pizza is removed from the oven, sprinkle it with fresh basil and arugula.

Preheating the baking stone or pizza steel is very important to get a quick cooking pizza with a crispy bottom crust.
