Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape of approximately 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough's edges.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border uncovered for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring an even distribution.
Scatter the vegetarian 'beef' crumbles across the pizza, followed by the sliced bell pepper, red onion, mushrooms, and black olives.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and black pepper on top of the vegetables and plant-based crumbles.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted and browned lightly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a cutting board.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving the pizza.
Enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Homemade 'Beef' Pizza with friends and family!
