1 lb pizza dough
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella
3 oz pepperoni
1 bell pepper
4 oz mushrooms
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp grated parmesan

How to cook it

Heat the oven to 475F with a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to preheat.
Stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface or a piece of parchment.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Scatter the mozzarella over the sauce, then top with the pepperoni, sliced bell pepper, mushrooms, and italian seasoning, or whatever toppings the family likes.
Slide the pizza onto the hot sheet or stone and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, about 12 minutes.
Let rest 3 minutes, scatter with parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil, and slice.
