Prepare pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) or prepare a grill for high heat.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.

Layer bell peppers, onions, and olives on top of the cheese.

Add slices of chorizo and ham evenly across the pizza.

Sprinkle with basil and oregano to taste.

Drizzle olive oil over the toppings for extra flavor.

Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven or grill.

Bake until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing.

Optional: Top with a fried egg and hot sauce before serving.
