Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup prepared pizza sauce
• 8 ounces mild Italian sausage
• 0.25 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 12-inch size Italian pizza crust
• 25 pepperoni slices
• 3 large button mushrooms, sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (210 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook Italian sausage until browned, breaking it up into fine crumbles, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain extra grease if necessary.

Step 3

Brush olive oil over pizza crust. Spread pizza sauce over crust and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 4

Evenly distribute pepperoni slices, mushroom slices, Italian sausage, and olive slices in that order over the mozzarella.

Step 5

In a small bowl combine Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, and oregano. Top the pizza with this mixture.

Step 6

Place pizza on a pizza pan and bake until cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 14 minutes. For a crispier crust, bake pizza directly on the oven rack.
