Shape the pizza dough into one large pizza or small individual pizzas (I usually make them into mini appetizer sizes). Cover with the mozzarella and then the tomatoes. Scatter the basil over the top. Season to taste with salt and pepper and drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the top. Transfer to the over and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake until the crust is golden brown (about 10 minutes longer, but keep checking b/c every oven is a little bit different). Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top and serve immediately.
