Instructions

Place a large baking sheet, upside down, in the oven and preheat to 500°F.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until light golden-brown and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, press dough into a 10-inch circle. Transfer dough to parchment-paper-lined pizza peel.
Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with cooked mushroom and cherry tomatoes and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
Quickly slide pizza onto prepared baking sheet and bake until dough is golden-brown and cooked through and cheese is melted, about 10 to 13 minutes. Top with oregano and basil. Slice and serve.

Notes

You can use any store-bought pizza dough, which is available at many supermarkets, and also can be bought at a pizzeria. If you can find the super-convenient type that is rolled up in a tube on parchment paper in the dairy aisle, that saves you a bit of stretching and pulling, and that can be rolled out right on a baking sheet.
