Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, about 12 inches in diameter.

Add Sauce
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce evenly.

Add Toppings
If using pepperoni, distribute the slices evenly on top of the cheese. If you prefer sausage, cook and crumble it beforehand, then sprinkle it over the cheese.

Season
Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the pizza.

Bake the Pizza
Drizzle olive oil around the crust and place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
