1. Place pizza stone on lower rack in a cold oven. Heat oven to 450°F. Bake stone for 1 hour.
2. Beat the cream cheese, shallots, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl until blended.
3. Roll out pizza dough on lightly floured waxed paper to a 12-inch circle, about ½-inch thick. Brush with olive oil. Spread cream cheese mixture to within 1 inch of edges. Layer with the mozzarella, cheddar and jalapeno peppers. Transfer dough to pizza peel or baking sheet.
