  6. Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Notes

For a crispier crust, preheat your baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven before placing the pizza on it. Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorites – mushrooms, olives, and onions are great options. Adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes gives the pizza a nice kick of heat. Serve with a side salad or garlic knots for a complete meal. Enjoy!
