Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat.
Lightly flour a clean surface and stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes if it becomes difficult to stretch.
Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough to prevent it from becoming soggy.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder. Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
Remove the casing from the Italian sausage. Crumble the sausage into small pieces and evenly distribute them across the pizza.
Add the thinly sliced red onions evenly over the top of the sausage and cheese.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 slices and serving.
