Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, aiming for a 12-14 inch pizza base.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, especially the edges to ensure a crispy crust.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce as the base layer.
Arrange the plant-based pepperoni slices over the cheese, spacing them out evenly.
Crumble the plant-based sausage into small chunks and scatter it evenly across the pizza.
Evenly distribute the sliced mushrooms, red onions, green bell peppers, and black olives over the top.
Sprinkle dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil before slicing the pizza into servings.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Meatlovers Pizza!
