Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.
Brush the olive oil over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, using the back of a spoon to reach all areas except the border.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Layer the cooked sausage, pepperoni slices, crumbled bacon, diced ham, and cooked ground beef evenly over the cheese.
Add the thinly sliced red onions on top of the meats, spreading them out evenly.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes over the entire pizza.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
