SAUSAGE PIZZA

Today's recipe is a Sausage Mozzarella Pizza made with store-bought pizza dough. We love using cooking shortcuts when we can and this recipe makes a delicious pizza dinner idea rather quickly.

Sausage Mozzarella Pizza from Refrigerated Dough

This recipe for this Sausage Mozzarella pizza was inspired by a wonderful lunch that we had in Rome last year. We had just arrived in Rome and were looking for an outdoor cafe near our hotel. The restaurant was one of many in the historic area. The square is a bustling open market during the day, and turns into a fun and hip entertainment area in the evening.

 

 

This pizza tasted so good and as I usually do, I took a photo of it. My husband is used to my ritual of photographing food on our vacation. I like to use the photos for recipe inspiration, if I enjoy the food. Here is the actual pizza at a sweet outdoor cafe in Campo di Fiori.

This was taken as they were removing the open market and preparing the square for the evening. Campo de fiori translates to field of flowers in English.

I loved the pizza so I recreated it when I got home. To save time, you can use a ready-made crust, but it is especially good on a homemade crust.

And to help set the mood, here are a few photographs from Rome.

Our visit to the beautiful Colosseum was on a lovely sunny day. Amazing the history that is in this city!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Remove casing from the sausage and cook over medium heat.
  • Break up sausage while it cooks into little pieces.
  • Once sausage is no longer pink, drain oil and sent aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and garlic.
  • Roll out the prepared pizza dough and place on cookie sheet or pizza stone

      They were both really good Ashley, but there is nothing quite like enjoying one in Rome with music and the Italian accent. 🙂

    Rome looks gorgeous. Eating pizza in Rome outside at a café sounds magical. Your pizza looks great! What a wonderful thing to be able to recreate dishes you love at home. Pizza is probably my favorite meal. =)

    Pizza in Rome? That's like a life dream.
    I'd settle for sure for pizza YOU make, though! I love sausage and fresh cheese!
