In a small bowl, stir together the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, half the salt, half the oil, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
While the dough rests, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, oregano, and the rest of the salt. Cook, breaking it into small crumbles, for 6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Done when browned and cooked through, 160°F.
Grease a half-sheet pan with the rest of the oil. Roll the dough into a very thin circle or rectangle and place it on the pan. Bake the plain crust for 5 minutes to set.
Spread the pizza sauce over the par-baked crust. Evenly distribute the cooked beef and top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Done when cheese is melted and bubbly.
