Prepare the Pizza Dough

Start by prepping your pizza dough. You can either make your dough from scratch using a basic mix of flour, water, yeast, and salt, or use a pre-made pizza dough. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, typically around ¼ inch thick for a good balance between crispy and chewy.

Add the Tomato Sauce

Spread tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. This will be the base for your toppings and provide a rich, tangy flavor that complements the vegetables.

Add the Cheese and Toppings

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce. Then, evenly distribute the mushrooms, red bell peppers, black olives, onions, and green olives over the cheese. For those including a protein source, add the diced chicken or tofu. Arrange the ingredients so each slice will have an equal portion of toppings.

Bake the Pizza

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place the pizza on a baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade vegetable pizza slice.
