Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base and Sauce

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cheeses

  • 8 oz hot sausage (Italian or your choice), cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Seasonings and Toppings

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra spice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Fresh arugula or spinach (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure it gets hot.
  2. Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your preferred thickness. Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet or directly onto the preheated pizza stone.
  3. Pre-Bake the Dough: Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil. Place it in the oven and bake for 5 minutes to firm up the crust, so it won’t become soggy after adding toppings.
  4. Add Sauce and Cheese: Remove the partially baked crust and spread a thin, even layer of tomato or pizza sauce over it. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce.
  5. Add Sausage and Feta: Distribute the cooked and crumbled hot sausage evenly across the pizza, then sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the sausage.
  6. Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  7. Add Honey: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about a minute. Drizzle the honey evenly over the entire pizza to add a sweet contrast.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally top the pizza with fresh arugula or spinach for a peppery fresh finish. Slice and serve the pizza while hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier profile, add the optional red pepper flakes along with the sausage.
  • If you prefer a crisper crust, consider using a pizza stone to bake your pizza.
  • Honey can be warmed slightly for easier drizzling if it’s very thick.
  • Fresh greens like arugula or spinach add a fresh, peppery contrast but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Use Italian seasoning to boost the herbal flavor, or substitute with dried oregano and basil.
  • Leftover pizza can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
