Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven as well.
  • Prepare the Dough:
    Roll out the pizza dough onto a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a greased baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  • Spread the Sauce:
    Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.
  • Add the Cheese:
    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Top with Veggies:
    Arrange the sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, black olives, spinach leaves, and mushrooms on top of the cheese.
  • Season:
    Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the toppings for added flavor.
  • Bake the Pizza:
    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  • Finish and Serve:
    Remove the pizza from the oven and brush the crust with olive oil for a shiny, golden finish. Slice and serve hot!

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences. Other great veggie options include zucchini, cherry tomatoes, artichokes, or arugula.
  • If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the pizza directly on the pizza stone or a preheated baking sheet.
  • You can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days before using.
