Prepare the pesto by combining pistachios, basil, olive oil, and Parmesan in a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
Make the dough by mixing flour and salt, then combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a separate bowl. Let sit until bubbly, then knead the mixture until smooth.
Let the dough rise in a greased bowl covered with a damp cloth for about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F) or place a pizza stone inside.
Shape the dough into a circle on a floured surface and transfer to a parchment-lined pizza peel.
Assemble the pizza by spreading the pistachio pesto on the dough and topping with mozzarella.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Slice and serve the pizza with a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

For a vegan version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast and use vegan cheese.
