Place whole heads of garlic in a small heavy saucepan with oil. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Cover and reduce heat to low for 15 minutes or until garlic is tender. Remove heads of garlic from oil; drain on paper towels. Cool.

To serve, cut each pizza square in half diagonally. Makes 12 appetizer servings.
