Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place an oven rack in the lowest position.

Step 2

Lightly oil a non-stick pizza pan or a baking sheet with some olive oil.

Step 3

Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it fits the size of your pizza pan. Transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared pan.

Evenly distribute the turkey pepperoni slices and sliced chicken sausage over the cheese.

Step 7

Scatter the red bell pepper and red onion slices evenly on top.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil with dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the toppings.

Step 9

Place the pizza in the preheated oven on the lowest rack and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, then slice and serve. Enjoy your low-fat pepperoni and sausage pizza!
