Preheat the oven to 450°F with a half-sheet pan inside. Let the pizza dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes so it is easier to roll.
Lightly coat a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Add the egg whites, half the salt, and the black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the whites are just barely set and still glossy. Remove from the heat and set aside. Done when whites are set and glossy.
On a piece of parchment paper, roll the dough into a 10-inch circle. If the dough springs back, let it rest for a few minutes and then continue stretching gently.
Spread the marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust, and season the sauce with the remaining salt. Scatter the egg white curds over the sauce, then top evenly with the mozzarella cheese.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the hot preheated baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the underside of the crust is golden brown. Done when cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top with the fresh torn basil before slicing.
