Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 35 min total

A classic homemade pizza topped with savory Italian sausage and spicy pepperoni, baked on a crispy crust with gooey mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
• 4 ounces Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled
• 2 ounces sliced pepperoni
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
3. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange mozzarella cheese on top.
4. Scatter crumbled sausage and pepperoni slices over the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Slide pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
6. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, par-bake the crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
• Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.
• Substitute turkey sausage or vegetarian pepperoni for a lighter version.
