Start by preheating your oven to the highest temperature it can reach, around 500°F (260°C). If using a pizza stone, pop that in the oven as it heats up for an extra crispy crust.
Lightly flour your surface and roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Want a thin, crispy crust? Roll it extra thin. Prefer it thick and fluffy? Keep it slightly thicker. Move the dough onto a floured pizza peel or baking sheet.
Now comes the magic! Spread the Calabrian chili paste evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Adjust the amount of chili paste depending on how spicy you’d like it.
Scatter thinly sliced roasted red bell peppers all over the pizza. They’ll add a smoky-sweet depth to every bite.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta over the pizza. The combination of gooey, melted mozzarella with tangy feta is pure bliss.
Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors. Then, drizzle olive oil over everything to bring all the elements together.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want the crust golden and the cheese bubbly with slightly browned edges.
Once out of the oven, top the pizza with torn fresh basil leaves. The heat from the pizza releases their aroma, making the dish even more irresistible.
Cut the pizza into slices, serve, and bask in the compliments!
