Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (245 degrees Celsius). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a preheated pizza stone.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil to create a crispy base.
Spread the tomato pizza sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Arrange the vegetarian ham slices evenly across the pizza.
Distribute the pineapple chunks evenly over the pizza, ensuring each slice will have a good combination of toppings.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and red pepper flakes over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
