SAUSAGE PIZZA INGREDIENTS
Everything you need to make a banging sausage pizza that's bursting with flavor.
For full quantities see recipe card below.
- Ready Rolled Pizza Dough - you can grab any pizza base you like, I like these fresh dough sheets, you just unroll, top and bake. But if you wanted to you could make your own homemade pizza dough base using a homemade pizza crust recipe.
- Sausage Meat - okay, I usually grab a pack of sausages, flip the meat from the skins and break it up. So just choose your favourite sausages and go with it!
- Red Onion - red onion goes great with sausage meat and is perfect on a nice cheesy pizza.
- Passata - I use plain passata because the toppings are really flavorful, you can swap this for pizza sauce, or your favourite tomato sauce if you prefer.
- Cheese - this is a cheesy pizza, so we use a combination of diced fresh mozzarella cheese and shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, they melt into the sausage meat deliciously!
- Extras - you'll need a splash of olive oil to fry the sausage meat and some salt, pepper and Italian seasoning or dried oregano to sprinkle over for extra flavour.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- Frying pan or large skillet pan

WHAT TO SERVE WITH SAUSAGE PIZZA
Check out that melty cheesy deliciousness!
You can go with regular pizza sides like coleslaw, potato salad or garden salad. You could slide on some French fries, I tend to grab a bag of frozen fries, season them with Italian seasoning and bang them in the air fryer whilst the pizza is cooking. Add a garlic mayo dip on the side and DONE!
RECIPE TIPS AND INGREDIENT SWAPS
Switch Up The Sausage Meat - you can buy regular pork sausages, flavoured sausages, Italian sausages or even use chicken sausage.
Add Some Extra Vegetables - you can add in some extra veggies here, just sauté them with the onions and sausage meat - try mushrooms, bell pepper, fennel or even toss over some sweetcorn before baking.
Fancy Some Spicy Heat? - if you like your pizza with a kick of heat, throw over some jalapeño or freshly chopped chillies. Or just add a sprinkling of red pepper flakes to the sausage meat.
TOP TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST SAUSAGE PIZZA
⭐️ Be sure to cook the sausage meat thoroughly, and remove from the pan using a slotted spoon so as to reduce the greasiness before loading onto the pizza base.
