Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce

Cheeses and Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 8 oz hot Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • Fresh basil, shredded (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Lola’s hot honey, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven while it heats up to ensure even, crispy cooking.
  2. Prepare Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or the hot pizza stone carefully. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil to promote browning and flavor.
  3. Build the Base: Spread a thin, even layer of tomato or pizza sauce over the dough, ensuring not to saturate it, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce to create a delicious cheesy layer.
  4. Add Toppings: Evenly scatter the cooked and crumbled hot Italian sausage over the cheese, then add the crumbled feta cheese on top, adding layers of savory, spicy, and tangy flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes until the crust turns golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  6. Finish & Drizzle: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Drizzle generously with Lola’s hot honey for a sweet and spicy kick, then sprinkle fresh shredded basil over the top.
  7. Serve: Slice the pizza and enjoy the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors.

Notes

  • For best results, use a pizza stone preheated in the oven to achieve a crispy crust.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey drizzle according to your preferred spice level.
  • Fresh basil adds a bright herbal finish—add just before serving to keep it vibrant.
  • You can substitute hot Italian sausage with mild sausage or other protein as desired.
  • If using store-bought dough, ensure it’s thawed before rolling out.
  • Pre-cooked sausage prevents excess grease from making the crust soggy.
