Step 1
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the lowest rack.
Step 2
Let pizza dough come to room temperature for 10 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set sauce aside.
Step 4
Pat mushroom slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Stretch or roll dough to fit a 14-inch pizza pan or shape into two 8-inch rounds.
Step 6
Brush dough lightly with olive oil, then spread tomato sauce evenly, leaving a 0.5-inch border.
Step 7
Distribute torn mozzarella over sauce, then scatter ham pieces, mushrooms, artichokes, and olives.
Step 8
Drizzle remaining olive oil over toppings. Bake for 15–18 minutes until crust is golden and cheese bubbles.
Step 9
Remove from oven and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately.
