Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it fits a baking sheet or pizza stone. Transfer the rolled-out dough to your baking sheet or stone.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Spread 0.5 cup of low sodium pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle 1 cup of reduced fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute 0.5 cup of unsweetened pineapple chunks and 0.5 cup of low sodium cooked ham slices evenly over the cheese.
Scatter 0.25 cup of thinly sliced red onion evenly across the pizza.
Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of garlic powder and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper over the toppings for additional flavor.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
