Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F and grease a rimmed baking sheet or pizza pan. Unroll the tube of pizza crust onto the baking sheet and press it out a bit. Using a fork, poke little holes evenly all over the crust (this will prevent it from puffing up while cooking.) Bake for 5 to 6 minutes.
In the meantime, melt butter over medium-high in a nonstick skillet. Once bubbly, add the imitation crab and sauté until heated through and just a bit golden. Add in the scallion whites and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
Using some of the melted butter from the skillet, brush it onto the toasted pizza crust.
Turn the heat down to medium/medium-low. Add to the skillet, cream cheese cubes and stir until melted. Then stir in the mayonnaise, soy sauce, and pepper until incorporated.
Spread the crab mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Parmesan.
Place back into the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is all melted and the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with the crispy fried wonton strips and the scallion greens. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes
Different crust. Try my homemade pizza dough, naan recipe, or flatbread instead of refrigerated crust if preferred. Baking times may vary.
