Dough & assembly

1 piece pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, 12-inch thin-to-medium crust)

1 tbs olive oil

1 tsp cornmeal or semolina (for dusting)

Sauce & cheese

3 tbs tomato pizza sauce (marinara or pizza sauce)

2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tsp grated parmesan (optional)

Meats

3 oz ham, thinly sliced and cut into bite-size pieces

20 piece pepperoni, sliced

3 oz Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled (mild or spicy)

2 oz salami, thinly sliced and halved

Vegetables & olives

8 piece Black olives, sliced

8 piece green olives, sliced

1/4 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

1/2 cup green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

Finishing & optional

1/2 tsp Dried oregano

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

4 piece fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Method

Dough & assembly

Preheat oven and prep

Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 500°F (260°C) for at least 30 minutes. If using a home oven that won't reach 500°F safely, preheat to the highest temperature (450–480°F). Lightly dust a pizza peel or cutting board with cornmeal or semolina.

Stretch or roll the dough into a 12-inch round on the dusted surface. Transfer dough to the peel or prepared baking sheet. Brush the outer 1/2-inch rim lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil to encourage browning.

Sauce & cheese

Spread 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust. Use the back of a spoon to create an even layer.

Evenly sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella over the sauced surface, leaving the crust clear.

If using, sprinkle 2 teaspoons grated parmesan lightly over the cheese for added flavor.

Meats

Distribute the prepared meats evenly over the cheese: arrange the 20 pepperoni slices in a single layer, scatter the 3 oz ham pieces, sprinkle the 3 oz cooked and crumbled Italian sausage, and place the 2 oz halved salami slices so toppings cover the pizza without heavy piling in one spot.

Tip: If using raw Italian sausage, remove casing, brown and drain in a skillet over medium heat for 6–8 minutes before crumbling and using.

Vegetables & olives

Scatter 1/4 cup thinly sliced yellow onion, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup thinly sliced green bell pepper evenly over the meats.

Distribute 8 sliced black olives and 8 sliced green olives across the pizza so each slice will have a mix of olives.

Finishing & bake

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano evenly over the assembled pizza and, if desired, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for heat.

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake at 500°F (or oven max) for 8–12 minutes, rotating once halfway, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and slightly browned. If baked at a lower temperature, time may increase to 12–16 minutes.

Remove the pizza from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest 2–3 minutes to set the cheese.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves if using, slice into 8 slices, and serve hot.
