Preheat your oven to 425°F and place a baking sheet inside to heat. Tear the mozzarella into small pieces and press them between several layers of paper towels, letting them drain for 5 minutes to prevent a soggy crust.
In a small bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, sugar, and half the salt. Spread this over the pizza crust. Top with the dried mozzarella pieces.
Carefully place the pizza on the hot baking sheet. Bake on the lowest oven rack until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling in spots, about 10 to 12 minutes. Done when crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
While the pizza bakes, whisk the egg whites with the remaining salt and a grind of black pepper. Cook in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring gently until softly scrambled and just set. Done when 165°F.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle with olive oil, scatter the fresh basil leaves on top, and finish with more black pepper. Serve the pizza with the scrambled egg whites on the side.
