Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness (thin crust or thick crust).
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a greased baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
- Layer the sliced salami and pepperoni evenly across the cheese.
- Add the thinly sliced red onion and black olives on top.
- Garnish with the chopped fresh basil and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For a crispy crust, try baking the pizza directly on the pizza stone.
- Experiment with additional toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, add more crushed red pepper flakes or try a spicy pizza sauce.
