Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced

  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel.
  3. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic.
  4. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border at the edges.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  6. Top with sliced bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, olives, and cherry tomatoes. Add spinach last.
  7. Sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if using.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh basil. Slice and serve.

Notes

Use preheated pizza stone or perforated pan for a crispier crust.Don’t overload with sauce or wet veggies to avoid soggy crust.For extra flavor, mix mozzarella with provolone or feta cheese.Add cooked chickpeas or plant-based sausage for more protein.Pesto, Alfredo, or garlic olive oil can be used in place of red sauce.
