Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
Brush the olive oil lightly over the dough, ensuring even coverage, and then spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until the tuna is well-coated and creamy.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the tomato sauce layer.
Top the tuna with the thinly sliced red onions, followed by an even layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Sprinkle the fresh basil over the cheese for added freshness and flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve while hot.
