Description
A hearty, cheesy classic loaded with crispy pepperoni and savory Italian sausage on a golden, chewy crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1/2 cup tomato pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup Italian sausage (raw or lightly sautéed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside to heat up.
- Gather and prep all toppings. Lightly sauté the sausage if using raw.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Place it on parchment paper.
- Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with mozzarella, pepperoni, and sausage.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
- Transfer pizza (with parchment) to the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Let rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy oven transfer.
- Do not overload sauce or toppings to keep crust crisp.
- Pre-cook sausage if it’s very fatty to avoid greasy pizza.
- For extra flavor, finish with chili flakes or garlic powder after baking.
