Mushroom, Green Pepper, Onion and Black Olive Pizza is a wonderful addition to pizza night. I love making different pizza combinations. We often use pizza night as a meat free dinner.
If you don’t have time to make pizza dough the local grocery usually has some in the freezer section. I remove the dough from the freezer in the morning and let it rest on the counter all day. Another option is to go to your local pizza shop and see if they will sell you only the dough. Most places will for about $2.00.
If you have time to make pizza dough try out Ree Drummond’s Pizza Dough.

1 ready to bake pizza dough
Let's prep!
| crushed tomato 15 oz |
| 2 garlic cloves |
| 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning |
| 8 oz mushrooms |
| 1 green pepper, sliced |
| 1 medium onion, sliced |
| 1.5 tablespoons olive oil |
| 2.25 oz black olives, sliced |
| 1 cup mozzarella cheese |
| 1 pizza dough |
| 1 tablespoon corn meal |
- Gather all your ingredients and measuring tools
- Thinly slice green peppers and place into a prep bowl
- Thinly slice onion and add to the peppers
- Remove the dirt from the mushrooms then slice and add to the same bowl as peppers and onions
- Smash 2 cloves of garlic and add to a sauce pan
- If the olives are not already slice then slice and leave on the cutting board
Let's cook!
- Complete prep from prep tab above.
- Set your dough on the counter to rest following the package directions.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the sauce pan with smashed garlic. Heat the pan and cook the garlic until it is just golden brown 2 – 3 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Cook on medium low for 10 minutes.
- Heat a sauté pan on medium with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
- Sauté peppers, onions, mushroom, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper until onions are crisp tender. This will take about 4-6 minutes then remove from heat.
- Remove the garlic from the sauce and chop. Leave on the cutting board
- Preheat oven to dough instructions
- Spread cornmeal to the bottom of the pizza pan then shape dough using your fingers. I start from the center and keeping working to the edges while spinning the dough.
- Once dough is shaped add evenly over dough:
- 1/2 cup of tomato sauce
- chopped garlic
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- sautéed vegetables
- black olives
- Bake as directed. Lift the bottom of the pizza to check to see if it is cooked. The bottom should be brown and crisp.
- Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes then slice and enjoy!

Side Options
Soup is a great option as well!
You can make any soup vegetarian by using vegetarian broth and omitting the meat. I like to add more vegetables or grains. I like to add potatoes to the Italian sausage kale soup. You can omit the beef from the barley soup. Southwest chicken soup is great with bulgur and garbanzo beans instead of chicken.
