1 Place a cast-iron pizza pan in an oven and preheat to 450°F.

Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and spread the tomatoes evenly on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lay the cheese evenly over the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Distribute the sausage and bell pepper evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle with half of the oregano and season with salt and pepper.
