   Remove from heat and set aside.
3. 3
   In a saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat, until hot but not smoking.

   Add the garlic, onion, salt and chile flakes.
5. 5
   As soon as the garlic and onions begin to look transparent, add the cockles and white wine.
6. 6
   Continue to cook until all of the cockles have steamed open.

   Meanwhile, divide the mozzarella evenly among the 4 marked pizza rounds, making sure to leave a 3/4-inch rim for the crust.

   Cook the prepared pizzas on the griddle until the dough is cooked but not dark, and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes.
9. 9
   Remove the cockles from the pan with a slotted spoon and arrange the cockles (in their shells) on the pizzas, allowing a bit of the juices to drip from the spoon onto the pizza.
