  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to desired thickness and transfer to baking sheet.
  3. Brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic if using.
  4. Spread sauce evenly over dough, then sprinkle with mozzarella.
  5. Add vegetables evenly across the pizza, finishing with olives and cherry tomatoes.

Notes

  • Use pre-roasted veggies for deeper flavor.
  • Try feta or goat cheese for a tangy twist.
  • Make it vegan by using plant-based cheese and dairy-free sauces.
  • For a cold veggie pizza, use crescent roll dough and a cream cheese spread with raw vegetables.
  • Grill the pizza for a smoky finish.
