Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the garlic oil over the entire surface of the dough.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and basil over the tomato sauce, along with the salt and black pepper.
Evenly distribute the sliced vegetarian ham and mushrooms over the sauce.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.
