Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 35 min total

A classic homemade pizza topped with savory pepperoni and earthy mushrooms, baked on a crispy crust for a perfect weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz sliced pepperoni
• 4 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
2. On a floured surface, stretch or roll pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
4. Arrange pepperoni slices and mushroom slices over the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Slide pizza onto preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
6. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, par-bake the dough for 3-4 minutes before adding toppings.
• Store leftover pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 375°F oven for best results.
