Step 1
Preheat oven to 475°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch round.
Step 2
Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paper. Brush the top with 1 tbsp olive oil, then spread 0.5 cup pizza sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 3
Sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Arrange 3 oz pepperoni slices on top, then scatter 0.5 medium red onion (thinly sliced) and 0.5 cup banana peppers.
Step 4
Slide the parchment with the pizza onto the hot stone or sheet. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 5
Let the pizza cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
