Hot Sausage Feta Honey Pizza (Printable)

Crispy crust topped with spicy Italian sausage, creamy feta, and sweet honey drizzle for the perfect sweet-heat combination.

# Ingredient list:

→ 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

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.
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. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The hot honey creates an addictive sweet-heat contrast that makes every slice memorable
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like something from a wood-fired pizza joint
02 -
  • Never add the honey before baking or it will burn and turn bitter
  • A pizza stone makes a noticeable difference in crust texture, but a preheated baking sheet works too
03 -
  • Dough stretches more easily when it's not cold from the fridge
  • Sprinkle a little cornmeal on your baking sheet to mimic that pizzeria texture
