Deep-Dish Meat Lover’s Pizza Pie

This deep-dish meat lover’s pizza pie is a thick, cheesy, flavor-packed dinner loaded with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, and ground beef. With its golden crust and layered meats, it’s the ultimate hearty pizza experience baked into one delicious pie.

  • Total Time: 55 mins
  • Yield: 6 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

1/2 lb ground beef

1/2 lb Italian sausage

1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon

1/2 cup sliced pepperoni

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded provolone or cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups pizza sauce

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp olive oil (for pan)

Grated Parmesan and red pepper flakes (optional topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly oil a 9-inch springform pan or deep-dish pie dish.

2. Press pizza dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and sausage until browned. Drain excess grease.

4. Layer half the shredded cheese on the crust, then spoon half the pizza sauce over it.

5. Add cooked beef, sausage, bacon, and pepperoni evenly over sauce.

6. Top with remaining sauce and cheese. Sprinkle with oregano.

7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

8. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Top with Parmesan or chili flakes if desired.

Notes

Let the pie rest before slicing to keep layers intact.

Swap meats based on preference—ham or Canadian bacon work well.

Use a cast iron skillet for extra-crisp edges.
