Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Lightly flour a clean surface and stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If needed, use a rolling pin for assistance.
Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking, then transfer the dough onto it.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the mixture over the stretched dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base.
Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
Tear the vegetarian prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the cheese.
Top with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, bell pepper, and black olives.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or bake it directly on the baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve warm for a delicious vegetarian pizza experience.
