- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone in the oven if using.
- Prepare the crust: Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel. Optionally, brush crust edges with water and sprinkle sesame seeds.

- Make the sauce: Mix ketchup and mustard in a small bowl. Spread the sauce on the pizza dough.
- Add toppings: Layer half of the cheeses, cooked ground beef, red onions, and remaining cheese on the pizza dough.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
- Finish and serve: Top with tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce if desired. Slice and serve hot.
