Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Sofrito sauce:
In a large skillet, sauté garlic, onion, and bell pepper in olive oil over medium heat. Cook and stir until onion is translucent, making sure not to burn the garlic. Add tomato sauce and paste, white wine, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until well blended and heated through. Spread this sauce over pizza dough.
Mix gouda and mozzarella cheeses together; spread over the pizzas. Sprinkle on the grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on a little bit more oregano.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and toasted.
Remove from oven; let cool for a bit; slice; serve.
