Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the 1 large pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread 0.5 cup pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border.

  2. Step 2

    Sprinkle 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Arrange 20 pepperoni slices, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and 0.5 cup sliced red bell pepper on top.

  3. Step 3

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the crust is crisp. Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

  4. Step 4

    Optional: add black olives or a sprinkle of dried oregano before baking if you have them.
