This cheese sausage pizza with cherry peppers is just what you need for a fun and delicious dinner! We absolutely love making pizzas on Friday nights while watching a great movie. And let's be honest, by the time Friday rolls around, we just want something quick and easy, but still packed with flavor. To make things super simple, you can even pick up pre-made crusts like Boboli crusts, stone-fried artisan crusts, or any other pre-made crusts that your local grocery store has to offer.

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 a delicious cheese sausage pizza with cherry peppers are easy to follow.  Making a scrumptious cheese sausage pizza with cherry peppers is super easy - I promise! 

To start, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Next, cook up some spicy Italian sausage links in a saute pan. Once it's cooked through (about 4 to 5 minutes), remove the sausage from the casing or cut it into small chunks.

While the sausage is sizzling,  whip up some amazing sauce. Don't worry about making pizza sauce from scratch. We have a fun tip - buy a jar of pizza sauce and add some extra spices to it. This will give your pizza that amazing flavor and make the sauce even more delicious! All you need to do is add some garlic powder and oregano to the pizza sauce. And, if you love spicy pizza, mix in some Habanero pepper to the sauce. This will make it super spicy and super good!!!

When preparing the cheese, slice the mozzarella, crumble the gorgonzola, and grate the parmesan. Consider buying pre-sliced mozzarella to make it even easier.

Steps for building the cheese sausage pizza. First, spray the bottom of the crust and sprinkle some parmesan cheese on it. For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle some chunky salt on the bottom of the pizza crust along with the parmesan cheese. Place the pizza crust on a cookie sheet, which you can line with foil for easier cleanup later.

Spread the pizza sauce on the dough. Then, add some mouth-watering sausage, flavorful Gorgonzola cheese, and some gooey mozzarella cheese slices. If you like a bit of spice, you can sprinkle some cherry peppers on top. We used fresh ones for this recipe, but pickled cherry peppers also work great.
