Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) or use a pizza stone and preheat according to manufacturer's instructions.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll out the pizza dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter or to your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled out dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Tear the mozzarella cheese into pieces and distribute them evenly over the tomato sauce.
Arrange the sliced cooked ham, quartered artichoke hearts, sliced mushrooms, and black olives on top of the cheese.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the toppings for extra flavor.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Cut the pizza into slices and serve while warm.
