Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Premade marinara sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pieces Italian sausage links
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prepare the pizza.
Step 2
Remove the sausage from its casing and cook in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the top with olive oil.
Step 4
Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.
Step 5
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Step 6
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked sausage, sliced red onion, and green bell pepper.
Step 7
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Step 10
Slice into 8 pieces and serve hot, enjoying your homemade sausage pizza.
