Ingredients

1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
1/2 cup pizza sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
8 ounces Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup pitted black olives, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, stretch or roll dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange mozzarella slices on top.
Crumble sausage over cheese, then scatter black olives. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and Parmesan.
Slide pizza onto preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips

For a crispier crust, par-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
Substitute turkey sausage for a lighter option.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven.
