Hot Sausage Feta Honey Pizza (Printable)

Crispy crust topped with spicy Italian sausage, tangy feta, mozzarella, and finished with hot honey drizzle.

# What You 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, cooked and crumbled
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
08 - Fresh parsley or basil, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
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 Suggestions:

01 -
  • The honey creates this incredible sweet heat that makes people pause mid bite and ask what you did differently
  • This comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy wood fired pizza place
02 -
  • Never put the honey on before baking or it will burn and turn bitter, always after
  • A pizza stone makes such a difference in crust texture that it's worth the investment
03 -
  • Let your dough come to room temperature for 30 minutes before stretching, it makes everything easier
  • Have all your toppings prepped and ready before you start, once you begin building the pizza there's no pausing
