Hot Sausage Feta Honey Pizza (Printable)

Spicy sausage meets creamy feta and sweet honey drizzle on a crispy crust for the perfect sweet-heat balance.

# 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 a pinch of chili flakes)
07 - ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
08 - Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish

# How-To Steps:

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 hot honey creates this incredible sweet heat balance that keeps everyone coming back for slice after slice
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy wood fired pizza place
02 -
  • Never put honey on before baking or it will burn and turn bitter, this lesson costs one perfectly good pizza
  • Letting the sausage cool slightly before scattering prevents the cheese from melting weirdly underneath
03 -
  • Cook extra sausage and freeze it in portion sizes to make future pizza nights even faster
  • Invest in a pizza peel if you plan to make this regularly, it makes transferring dough so much easier
