Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade for a personal touch)

½ cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup prosciutto, thinly sliced

¼ cup salami, thinly sliced

¼ cup pepperoni, thinly sliced

¼ cup black olives, pitted and sliced

¼ cup artichoke hearts, quartered

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh arugula for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up so that it is hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to achieve your preferred thickness. A thinner crust will yield a crispier pizza, while a thicker crust will be chewier. Once shaped, transfer it onto a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

      Spread the Sauce and Cheese: Using a spoon or spatula, spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about half an inch border for the crust. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce to create a delicious cheesy base.

        Artfully Layer the Meats: Next, elegantly layer the prosciutto, salami, and pepperoni in overlapping arrangements across the cheese. This adds a visually appealing touch as well as rich flavors.

          Incorporate Additional Toppings: Scatter the sliced black olives and quartered artichoke hearts evenly among the meat toppings. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the pizza to infuse it with aromatic flavor. To enhance the richness, drizzle the olive oil over the entire pizza.

            Bake to Perfection: Carefully slide the pizza into the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone if you’re using one). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted.

              Elevate with Final Cheese: About one minute before the pizza is ready to come out, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and, if desired, add red pepper flakes for an optional spicy kick.

                Garnish and Serve: Once the pizza is baked, let it cool for a minute before slicing. Just before serving, top with fresh arugula for a peppery crunch that contrasts beautifully with the savory toppings. Slice into wedges and enjoy while hot!
