Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- 1 (store-bought or homemade, enough for a large pizza)
- Tomato sauce
- 1 cup
- Mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups, shredded
- Pepperoni
- 1 cup, sliced
- Mushrooms
- 1 cup, sliced
- Green bell pepper
- 1, sliced
- Onion
- 1, thinly sliced
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt

- Pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- If using homemade pizza dough, prepare it according to your recipe. Otherwise, take the store-bought dough out and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, typically about 1/2 inch thick for a Boston style pizza.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet, pressing it into the edges of the pan.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to form a crust.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce to create a cheesy base.
- Layer the sliced pepperoni, green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms evenly over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, giving the pizza a nice, gooey topping.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the pizza for added flavor and moisture.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing into generous pieces and serving warm.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the toppings.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients, such as olives, sautéed spinach, or cooked sausage.
- If you prefer a thicker crust, let the dough rise for an additional 30 minutes before rolling it out.
