Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a rack in the center.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or to your desired thickness.
Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly on the dough and spread it using a brush or the back of a spoon.
Grate or finely mince the garlic cloves and scatter them evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Crumble the feta cheese and distribute it evenly over the mozzarella layer.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and spread them over the pizza along with the pitted Kalamata olives.
Thinly slice the red onion and add the slices sparingly across the pizza.
Top the pizza with a handful of baby spinach leaves, scattering them evenly.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the pizza for added flavor.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
