Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 20 to 24 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F. Place a pizza stone, baking steel, or pizza pan in the oven while it heats.

  3. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
  4. Sprinkle cornmeal or flour on a pizza peel or pan, then place the dough on top.
  5. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Top with the mozzarella and provolone cheese.
  7. Add the cooked sausage evenly over the cheese, then layer the pepperoni slices across the top.
  8. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  9. Brush the outer crust lightly with olive oil.
  10. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  11. Let the pizza rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh pizza dough for best results.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven.
  • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing.
