Hot Sausage Feta Honey Pizza (Printer View)

Spicy sausage meets creamy feta and sweet honey on golden crust

# What you'll need:

→ Dough & Base

01 - 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

→ Sausage & Cheese

03 - ½ lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed
04 - 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

→ Toppings & Garnish

06 - ¼ cup hot honey or regular honey plus pinch of chili flakes
07 - ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
08 - Fresh parsley or basil, chopped for garnish

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating for optimal results.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness for two medium pizzas.
03 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
04 - Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush each crust lightly with olive oil.
05 - Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the cooked sausage and crumbled feta.
06 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
07 - Remove pizzas from the oven. Immediately drizzle hot honey generously over each pizza. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
08 - Garnish with chopped fresh herbs. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The sweet heat from honey against salty feta creates that addictive flavor collision your brain cant quite process but absolutely craves
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like something from a wood-fired restaurant that requires a reservation weeks in advance
02 -
  • Honey burns like nobody's business, so wait until the pizza is out of the oven to drizzle it
  • A pizza stone makes the crust dramatically better, but a preheated baking sheet works if that's what you have
03 -
  • Freeze your pizza stone in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking for extra crispy crust results
  • Sprinkle a little cornmeal on your pizza peel or baking sheet to prevent sticking disasters
