Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your wood-fired oven or conventional oven to 500°F (use a pizza stone if available). Toss 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 medium yellow bell pepper slices with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast on a baking sheet for 10 minutes until edges are slightly charred.
Step 2: Roll out 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet dusted with flour.
Step 3: Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 4: Sprinkle 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute 6 oz sliced spicy chorizo and the roasted bell pepper slices on top.
Step 5: Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the pizza and sprinkle 1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes.
Step 6: Bake in the oven or wood-fired oven for 8-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 7: Remove from oven, let rest for 3 minutes, slice, and serve hot.
