Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it is preheating.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, roughly 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Distribute the vegetarian tuna evenly over the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetarian tuna.
Arrange the red onion slices and capers on top of the cheese.
Drizzle the olive oil over the pizza.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden 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 immediately, enjoying your delicious Vegetarian Pizza Tonno!
