Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza Slice with Chili Flake Heat

A cheesy crowd-pleaser with just the right kick!

Ingredients:

1 pizza dough round (homemade or store-bought)

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

12–15 pepperoni slices

1/2 cup cooked Italian sausage, crumbled or balled

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (plus extra for topping)

Olive oil for brushing

How to Make It:

Preheat & Prep:

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking tray inside. Roll out your dough and place it on parchment paper—this step sets the tone for crispy crust magic and a solid pizza night win.

Sauce It Up:

Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a slight edge. Sprinkle with a pinch of Italian seasoning. This adds bold base flavor and classic pizzeria vibes.

Cheese & Toppings:

Add mozzarella, followed by even layers of pepperoni and sausage. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for that extra flavor punch and spicy kick lovers dream.

Bake to Perfection:

Slide the pizza (on parchment) onto the hot tray or stone. Bake 10–12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling. You’re hitting that ultimate cheesy crust finish and gooey topping perfection.

Slice & Serve:

Let cool slightly, then slice and top with more chili flakes if desired. It’s the perfect slice every time, ready to serve hot and melty!
