Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. If making your own dough, let it rest for 10 minutes if it's difficult to stretch.
Sprinkle cornmeal onto a pizza peel (or the back of a baking sheet). Transfer the stretched dough onto the peel to prevent sticking.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1–2 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside to cool slightly.
Brush the remaining olive oil over the pizza dough. Evenly spread the cooked mushroom mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the mushrooms, followed by the Parmesan cheese.
Scatter the fresh thyme and oregano over the top for added flavor.
Carefully slide the prepared pizza onto the preheated baking stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
