Place pizza stone, rimless baking sheet, or inverted rimmed baking sheet on center rack of oven and preheat to 500°F. Arrange tomato slices on double layer of paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Using paper towel, blot any moisture from tops of tomato slices.

Holding parchment paper, carefully slide dough from oven to cutting board. Sprinkle cheeses over dough, leaving 3⁄4-inch border. Top cheeses with tomato slices. Slide pizza onto pizza stone and bake until crust is browned and crisp and cheese is melted, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer pizza to cutting board. Sprinkle with black pepper and basil. Cut into 8 wedges.
