Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Italian hot sausages (about 12 ounces), casings removed
1 10-ounce purchased fully baked thin pizza crust
1 1/4 cups purchased refrigerated marinara sauce
1 1/4 cups grated mozzarella cheese (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives, halved
4 thin rounds green bell pepper, halved

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Sauté sausage in large skillet over medium-high heat until just cooked through, breaking into 1/2-inch pieces with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Drain off fat; set sausage aside.
  • Place pizza crust on rimless baking sheet. Leaving 3/4-inch plain border, spread 1 cup sauce over crust. Top with 3/4 cup mozzarella, 3/4 of basil, sausage, 1/2 cup Gorgonzola, olives, 1/2 cup mozzarella, bell pepper and 1/2 cup Gorgonzola. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup sauce over. Bake pizza until crust is crisp and topping is heated through, about 13 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining basil.

I'm not a huge fan of pizza, but this one was really good. The crust was thin and crispy, and the toppings were delicious.

This was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The spicy sausage and gorgonzola were a perfect combination.

This pizza was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have been better off using a lower-fat sausage.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pizza turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it at too high of a temperature.

I thought this pizza was just okay. The sausage was a bit too spicy for my taste, and the gorgonzola didn't really do anything for me.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a little less gorgonzola. I found that the flavor of the cheese was a bit too strong for my taste.

I made this pizza for my family, and they all loved it. Even my picky kids ate it without complaint.

This pizza is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I had some Italian sausage in my freezer, and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of gorgonzola, but it really worked in this pizza. The bitterness of the cheese balanced out the heat of the sausage.

This pizza was a hit at my last party! The combination of spicy sausage and creamy gorgonzola was perfect.
