Drizzle olive oil over the dough and spread it evenly. Layer the mozzarella cheese, mango slices, jalapeño slices, and red onion on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
