Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch diameter circle.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment paper sheet.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Evenly distribute the biltong and sliced red onion over the cheese.
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes across the pizza.
Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh oregano leaves.
Carefully slide the parchment sheet with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra flavor layer.
Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the delightful fusion of biltong with fresh pizza ingredients.
