Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness (thin crust or thick crust).
3. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a greased baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
4. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
6. Layer the sliced salami and pepperoni evenly across the cheese.
7. Add the thinly sliced red onion and black olives on top.
8. Garnish with the chopped fresh basil and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
