Cheesy Pizza with Tomatoes, Olives and Mushrooms

This is yet another pizza recipe with loads of veggies and cheese. If you've perfected the art of creating amazing pizza base, you can create almost infinite types of different pizza preparations. I've added an extra quantity of mushrooms in the topping which I'll definitely not recommend if you're going to make this pizza. The more mushrooms you add, the heavier and mushier is the topping. So, do moderate the number of mushrooms using your cooking wisdom. Instead of using pickled olives, one can also use fresh picks. This time I've used regular oven though nothing can beat the aroma and taste of wood fire baked pizza. Let's make this delicious and easy-to-make fulfilling pizza recipe.
