Neither. I use canned whole tomatoes and crush them before putting
them on the pizza, which I have painted with olive oil beforehand.

I drain the canned tomatoes somewhat.

Underneath, but I don't cover all the tomatoes with cheese. I use
slices of water-packed mozzarella balls

Both. I put a few leaves under a few of the slices, then more on top
when the pizza comes out of the oven.

I bake it in a 500 degree oven (high as I can get it) on a Hearthkit
insert that I've heated for an hour.
