Friday Night is Pizza Night at the Grumpy House

We will eat pizza just about any night of the week, but Friday night is always pizza night at our home. I love to share a variety of pizza types with the family and sometimes I have one that is too much of a winner to not write it down.

Pizza Dough: I have a trusty Homemade Pizza Dough recipe that is my go-to for those in the home who eat carbs. If you're following a low carb keto diet, then try making this Low Carb Pizza Crust.

Chicken Sausage: I used a Sweet Italian Sausage that you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery stores. To give it some char, I sliced the sausages and cooked them with the peppers and onions before topping the pizza.

Cheese: The best cheese for pizza is a whole-milk mozzarella cheese that is not pre-shredded. You can shred it yourself or buy fresh mozzarella and cut it into slices to top the pizza.

Pizza Stone: While I have used a baking sheet to make pizza, A pizza stone is the best way to cook any pizza. Place it in the lowest shelf in your oven at a hot temp and it will create magic with your pizza crust.

Pizza Cutter: This is an absolute must and I use this pizza cutter. It's inexpensive and it gets the job done.

Onions and Green and Red Peppers: Fresh is best. I like to cut them in slices like they would be if you were putting them in a sausage hoagie.

Homemade Pasta Sauce: I love a good thick pasta sauce so I usually make my own. This recipe is low carb, sugar-free, and super delicious!

Other ways to make this Chicken Sausage Pizza

• Grill the chicken sausages first, then slice them to top the pizza.
• Try the buffalo chicken sausage and instead of pasta sauce, use a buffalo wing sauce to top the pizza. Use mozzarella cheese and blue cheese if desired and sprinkle some red onion slices over top of the pizza.
• Remove the casing from the chicken sausages and dice them into smaller pieces before sauteeing in the skillet.
• Make a stuffed crust pizza and take string cheese and roll the crust edge up around the cheese, pinching the dough to seal the cheese inside.
• Brush the crust with a garlic butter sauce or olive oil before coating it with toppings.
