Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
6 oz spicy Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp hot honey (plus more for drizzling)
Fresh basil or arugula for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
2. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle or oval.
3. Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Spread ricotta evenly over the surface.
4. Top with shredded mozzarella, crumbled sausage, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
5. Transfer to hot stone or baking sheet. Bake 12–15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
6. Remove from oven and drizzle with hot honey. Add fresh basil or arugula if desired.

Notes
Make your own hot honey by combining honey and a dash of chili flakes or hot sauce.
Use pre-cooked sausage to save time on prep.
Thin crust or naan also works great as a base for this recipe.
