1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Make a well in the center and add in the warm water and olive oil. Using a wooden spoon, mix until a dough forms.
2. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
4. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto a floured surface to desired thickness. Place the rolled-out dough onto the pizza stone.
6. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Add your desired toppings such as pepperoni, black olives, and red onions. Sprinkle dried oregano on top.
8. Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
