03 - Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to the desired thickness.
04 - Place the rolled-out dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
05 - Brush the crust evenly with olive oil to enhance flavor and crispness.
06 - Spread the remaining teriyaki sauce evenly over the crust surface.
07 - Distribute shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the marinated chicken pieces, sliced bell peppers, and thinly sliced red onion.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
