Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface or a parchment sheet, roll out the vegan pizza dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or flour.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Set aside.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded vegan mozzarella cheese over the sauce evenly.
Distribute the cooked onion, bell pepper, and mushroom evenly over the cheese layer.
Add the crumbled or sliced vegan sausage on top of the vegetables.
Season with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, then sprinkle the roughly torn fresh basil leaves.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Cut into slices and serve immediately.
