This cheese sausage pizza with cherry peppers is perfect for an easy quick dinner. We love making pizza on Friday nights while watching a fun movie. Usually by the time Friday rolls around we are ready make something quick but still has a lot of flavor. To make this really really easy, buy the individual crust like a Boboli crust, stone fried artisan crust, or other pre made crust that are available at the local grocery store
It’s so much fun to make homemade pizza. Other homemade pizzas we love are Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza, Mushroom 4 cheese Pizza, Shrimp Scampi Pizza, Pesto Pizza, BBQ Pizza and More

The steps to make this cheese sausage pizza with cherry peppers are so easy.
First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then start to cook the sausage in a saute pan. We use spicy Italian sausage links. Remove the sausage from the casing or cut the sausage into chunks. Cook it completely, it takes about 4 to 5 minutes.
While the sausage is cooking get the sauce ready. No need to make homemade pizza sauce. We like to buy a jar of pizza sauce then add additional spices to the sauce. This is a fun tip to give the pizza more of that great flavor and an easy way to elevate the pizza sauce. All you need to add is some additional garlic powder and oregano to the pizza sauce. And if you want a really spicy pizza, mix in some Habanero pepper to the sauce
For the cheese we added fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola and grated parmesan cheese. Prepare the cheese by slicing the mozzarella, crumble the gorgonzola, and grate the parmesan. To make this even easier, buy the already sliced mozzarella cheese..
Now build the pizza. Spray the bottom of the crust and sprinkle on some parmesan cheese. For another fun flavor boost sprinkle on some chunky salt to the bottom of the pizza crust with the parmesan cheese. Place the pizza crust on a cookie sheet. We like to line our cookie sheets with foil. This cuts the time for the clean up!!
Spread the pizza sauce on the dough. Sprinkle on the sausage, Gorgonzola cheese, mozzarella cheese slices, and cherry peppers (we used fresh for this one but pickled cherry peppers work also).
Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown on the bottom. Slice and ENJOY!!!!
