Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, approximately 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy transferring to the oven.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Distribute the vegetarian pepperoni slices and plant-based sausage crumbles evenly over the cheese layer.
Arrange the red bell pepper and red onion slices over the top.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle the dried oregano and dried basil evenly over the entire pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top.
Let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
