Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well. Alternatively, prepare a baking sheet with a light spray of olive oil.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper or the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the low-fat pizza sauce evenly over the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the strips of low-fat cooked ham, sliced mushrooms, and artichoke hearts on top of the cheese.
Scatter the black olive slices across the pizza.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone in the oven or bake directly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat Pizza Capricciosa!
