Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to form a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.
Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the olive oil base.
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough as the first layer.
Top with the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring even coverage.
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives, and thinly sliced red onion over the cheese.
Add the chopped fresh spinach on top, followed by a sprinkle of dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil and optional lemon zest for brightness.
