Ingredients

13.8 oz. Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
½ cup pizza sauce
6 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese ~2 cups
4 oz. pepperoni slices
1 green bell pepper diced
¼ white onion minced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the pizza crust and lay it flat on the baking sheet. Par-bake the pizza crust for 8 minutes.
Remove the pizza from the oven and assemble the pizza. Use a spoon to spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pizza. Then, sprinkle on the cheese, pepperoni slices, green pepper, and onion over the sauce. Season with Italian seasoning.*
Bake the pizza for an additional 6-10 minutes or until the bottom of the pizza crust is golden brown.
Serve immediately.

Notes

You can use any brand of pizza dough or homemade pizza dough.
If you like saucier pizza, add an additional ¼ cup of pizza sauce.
Feel free to add other pizza toppings.
To freeze: After step #2, place the sheet pan into the freezer, and freeze for at least 2 hours. Once frozen, the pizzas can be placed into a freezer storage container separated by parchment paper.
