Preheat oven to 425F. Brush a 10x15 baking pan with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with a small amount of cornmeal or semolina flour. Use your fingertips to press the dough into the pan, keeping the dough even in thickness all the way to the edge.
Brush the top of the dough with more olive oil and use a fork to create pricks all over. Bake for 5-7 minutes. If bubbles begin to form while baking, reach in with a fork and poke them to let the gas escape.
While crust is pre-baking, mix together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed - add a bit more sugar if sauce still tastes too acidic.
Spread sauce over pre-baked crust, going all the way to the edge. Top with meat, veggies, pepperoni, or any other desired toppings. Add a generous layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
To recreate the look of a school pizza, have the toppings and cheese go all the way to the edge of the crust.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Cut into rectangles and serve.
