Ingredients

• 1 piece Store-bought or homemade pizza dough
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
• 1 cup Marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.

Step 2

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.

Step 3

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Mince the garlic cloves and evenly distribute them over the oiled surface.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire pizza base.

Step 5

Top the mozzarella with crumbled feta cheese, followed by the sliced Kalamata olives, chopped artichoke hearts, julienned sun-dried tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 6

Add the fresh spinach leaves evenly across the pizza. Sprinkle dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the toppings.

Step 7

Bake the pizza on the center rack (or on the preheated pizza stone) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
