Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to form a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base of the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Drain the canned tuna and break it into small pieces. Scatter the tuna evenly across the pizza.
Peel the red onion and cut it into thin slices. Distribute these slices over the tuna.
Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and sprinkle them evenly over the pizza.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the pizza.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the entire pizza.
If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza onto it. Otherwise, place the baking sheet into the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve immediately.
