Step 1
Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Let it heat for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
On a floured surface, stretch the 1 lb pizza dough into a 12-inch round, leaving the edges slightly thicker.
Step 3
Brush the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil, then spread 0.5 cup tomato sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.
Step 4
Sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then scatter 0.5 cup pitted black olives on top.
Step 5
Season with 1 tsp dried oregano, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 6
Transfer the pizza to the hot stone or sheet. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 7
Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, optionally with fresh lettuce and tomato on the side.
