Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Dough:

  • 1 store-bought pizza dough (or homemade if you’re feeling adventurous)
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for dipping)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 lb sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 lb cooked Italian sausage (optional, crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning (for sprinkling)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. If using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes to make it easier to roll out.

2. Roll Out the Dough

  1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12x16 inches. Aim for an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
  2. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.

3. Add the Fillings

  1. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  2. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
  3. Layer on the pepperoni, cooked sausage (if using), and any additional toppings like olives or mushrooms.
  4. Top with the remaining cheese to seal in the fillings.
