Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Brush olive oil over the surface of the dough, focusing on the edges to create a golden crust.
Step 3
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch of the outer edge for the crust.
Step 4
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Step 5
Slice the vegetarian meatballs in halves or quarters, depending on your preference, and distribute them evenly over the pizza.
Step 6
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and the red onion into thin rings. Arrange them on top of the pizza.
Step 7
Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Step 8
Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the pizza.
Step 9
Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Step 11
Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Step 12
Slice into 8 pieces and serve hot.
