Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coating over the surface.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the raw shrimp to the skillet, season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Scatter the cooked shrimp, crumbled feta cheese, and halved cherry tomatoes over the mozzarella layer.
Add the baby spinach evenly across the pizza to create a fresh layer of greens.
Place the pizza in the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone if using) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Slice the pizza into thin strips for serving, approximately 2 inches wide.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving and enjoy!
