Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat while the oven preheats.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and transfer it to a lightly oiled pizza pan or onto a piece of parchment paper if using a pizza stone.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic, and brush this mixture over the entire surface of the pizza dough.
Evenly distribute the caperberries, sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and red onion over the dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly across the top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the cheese and toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with the fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
