mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated romano

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a more economical option for cooking.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni is lower in fat, while salami is often less expensive.

Prepare the pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit the baking sheet.

Drizzle olive oil on the hot baking sheet and carefully place the rolled-out dough on it.

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

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by grated parmesan cheese.

Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Season with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and oregano to taste.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh basil before slicing and serving.
