Print Recipe

A vibrant, homemade veggie pizza topped with colorful vegetables, creamy mozzarella, and a golden, crispy crust. Perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Pizza Dough: 1 lb – forms the delicious base
  • Pizza Sauce: 1/2 cup – a tangy, herby tomato layer to set the stage
  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 1/2 cups shredded – creamy and melty, the ultimate glue
  • Red Onion: 1/4 cup thinly sliced – adds sharpness and bite
  • Bell Peppers: 1/2 cup mixed colors, thinly sliced – sweet and vibrant
  • Mushrooms: 1/2 cup sliced – earthy and meaty in texture
  • Black Olives: 1/4 cup sliced – briny contrast to balance sweetness
  • Cherry Tomatoes: 1/3 cup halved – juicy pops of flavor
  • Spinach: 1/2 cup fresh – wilts beautifully under the cheese
  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp – brushed on the crust for golden color
  • Dried Oregano: 1 tsp – a fragrant finishing herb

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone or steel, place it inside during preheat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Toss sliced veggies lightly in olive oil and set aside. Shred the cheese and halve the tomatoes.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough. Layer with spinach, mozzarella, and the rest of the veggies. Sprinkle oregano on top.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let it rest for a minute, then drizzle a bit of olive oil or a pinch of chili flakes if desired.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice it up and dig in while it’s hot. Pair it with a crisp salad or chilled drink.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.
  • Sprinkle cornmeal under the crust for extra crunch.
  • Let dough sit at room temperature before rolling for easier handling.
  • Customize your toppings based on what’s in season or your taste.
