6.Sprinkle the asiago, Gouda, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the brisket and sauce.

7.Drizzle olive oil over the top of the pizza for added flavor and to help the cheese melt beautifully.

8.Carefully transfer the pizza, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

9.Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

10.Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
