• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

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

4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
5. Layer the pepperoni, crumbled sausage, diced ham, and crumbled bacon evenly on top of the cheese.

7. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil for a golden finish.
8. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
