Sausage and Green Pepper Pizza Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 35 min total

A classic homemade pizza topped with savory Italian sausage, crisp green peppers, and melted mozzarella cheese on a crispy crust.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
• 2 Italian sausage links, casings removed
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking into crumbles, until browned (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
3. On a floured surface, stretch dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
4. Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange mozzarella slices on top.
5. Scatter cooked sausage and green pepper slices over cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes if using.
6. Slide pizza onto hot stone or baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, 12-15 minutes.
7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parmesan, let cool 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips

• For extra crispness, par-bake the crust for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
• Leftover pizza can be stored in the fridge and reheated in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
