Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the whole-wheat pizza crust on a pizza stone or a baking sheet.
Evenly spread the low-sodium tomato sauce over the pizza crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the reduced-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
Arrange the turkey pepperoni slices, sliced cooked chicken breast, and cooked turkey sausage over the cheese.
Layer the red bell pepper slices, red onion slices, and sliced mushrooms on top of the meats.
Scatter the fresh spinach leaves over the top, slightly pressing them into the toppings.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and dried basil evenly over the top.
Drizzle the olive oil in a thin stream over the entire pizza.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Cut the pizza into 8 slices and serve warm.
