Ingredients: 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade. 1/2 cup pizza sauce. 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni. 1/4 cup sliced black olives. 1/4 cup sliced green bell peppers. 1/4 cup sliced red onions. 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms. 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional.

Instructions: Warm up your oven to 475F 245C and put a baking sheet or pizza stone in it while it does that. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to the thickness you want. Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper after it has been rolled out. Don't cover the dough with pizza sauce all the way to the edges; leave a little space for the crust. Add the shreds of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Spread the mushrooms, black olives, green bell peppers, red onions, and pepperoni out evenly on top of the cheese. Salt and black pepper should be added on top of the toppings. You can also use garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes if you want. Carefully move the pizza from the parchment paper to the pizza stone or baking sheet that has been heated up in the oven. Put it in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and a little browned. After taking the pizza out of the oven, let it cool for a minute or two before cutting it. If you want, you can add fresh basil leaves as a garnish.
