Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or tomato basil sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh spinach leaves or arugula for topping
  • Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for finishing

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness. Brush the top with olive oil to create a golden, crisp base once baked. Let the dough rest for a few minutes while you prepare your toppings.
  • Add the sauce and cheese: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the sauce, followed by the crumbled feta cheese for that tangy Greek flavor.
  • Add the toppings: Arrange sliced olives, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and bell peppers across the surface. Try to distribute the ingredients evenly so each slice has a bit of everything. Sprinkle dried oregano and a light dash of black pepper to bring out those Mediterranean aromas.
  • Bake the pizza: Carefully transfer your pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. The feta should be slightly toasted around the edges, adding a nice contrast in texture and flavor.
  • Finish and serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 2 minutes. Add fresh spinach or arugula on top and drizzle with a touch of extra virgin olive oil. Slice and serve warm for that irresistible Greek-inspired bite with every piece.
