Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Wash and thinly slice the bell pepper, red onion, and mushrooms.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the black olives.
Distribute the bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and black olives evenly over the cheese.
Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or inverted baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
