Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • 8 oz hot Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh basil, shredded (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Lola’s hot honey, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven while it heats to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or the preheated pizza stone. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil to promote browning and prevent sticking.
  3. Build the Base: Spread a thin, even layer of tomato or pizza sauce over the dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top to create a melty, cheesy foundation for your pizza.
  4. Add Toppings: Distribute the cooked and crumbled hot Italian sausage evenly over the cheese layer. Then, scatter the crumbled feta cheese across the pizza for a tangy, creamy contrast.
  5. Bake: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese becomes bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Finish & Drizzle: Remove the pizza and let it cool for a minute. Drizzle generously with Lola’s hot honey to add a sweet and spicy kick. Top with freshly shredded basil, slice, and serve immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, use a pizza stone preheated in the oven.
  • You can adjust the amount of hot honey to your preferred level of sweetness and heat.
  • Use fresh mozzarella if available for a richer cheese layer.
  • Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best texture.
  • Make sure the sausage is well cooked and drained of excess fat before adding to the pizza.
