- 0.5 cup Pineapple chunks, canned in juice and drained

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place an oven rack in the middle position.
Lay the whole wheat pizza crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border for the crust's edge.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce layer.
Scatter the lean ham and pineapple chunks evenly across the top of the cheese.
Evenly distribute the red onion and red bell pepper slices across the pizza.
Drizzle olive oil over the toppings to enhance the flavor and texture.
Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder evenly over the pizza.
Grind fresh black pepper over the top to taste.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
While the pizza is baking, prepare the fresh basil leaves by tearing them into smaller pieces.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately garnish with the torn basil leaves for a fresh burst of flavor.
Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
