diy meat lovers pizza | sunny side up blog

We are super into pizza around here.  It’s a once-a-week meal at Casa Bagley.  We do take out and take-and-bake and we also like to buy pre-made dough to form our own pie.

The other day I was dying for a meat lovers pizza.  I’m usually all about the margherita pizza, but I had to have a meat pizza.

Lucky for me, Dan is all about meat, so he was on board for a DIY meat lover’s pizza.  Here’s what we did:

Ingredients

-1 ball of premade dough (We like this brand.  Or, if you are feeling adventurous, make your own.)

-1/2 cup tomato sauce (We use Ragu traditional.)

-couple handfuls of mozzarella cheese

-small handful of cheddar cheese

-couple slices of deli sliced ham

-1/2 cup of diced up pancetta

-couple slices of deli sliced salami

-pizza seasoning  (We like this pizza seasoning from Penzys.)

Make sure you set out your dough for a couple hours if you are using the frozen dough.  Once your dough is soft, roll it out and cover with tomato sauce.  Top with cheese, ham, pancetta, and salami and sprinkle with pizza seasoning.  Bake for about 15 minutes at 350.

Dan says this is one of our best pizzas yet.  It definitely hits the spot when you are craving a cheesy, meaty pizza.  The pancetta makes it salty, and the trio of meats makes this pizza deliciously filling.

Are you a DIY pizza lover or do you prefer take out?

    I love pizza but I’ve actually only made one “homemade” pizza (with store-bought dough). The crust really can make or break the pizza! This meat lover’s one looks great though. Kail and I are definitely meat pizza people. I like the occasional margherita pizza too though.

      Agreed! Crust is super important. We prefer the store bought dough over the pizza shells. I’ve heard Wegmens has the best dough. But Costco pizza is my favorite take and bake. I could eat that at least once a week ;)

    I am definitely a fan of pizza! I made homemade pizza dough recently and the first time it was just ok. My second attempt – after reading lots of tips online about working with yeast – was amazing! We like to use Classico fire roasted pizza sauce (from Target) for just the right amount of kick and make a double layered pizza: sauce, cheese, pepperoni, cheese, pepperoni. It’s sooo good! :-)

      I think pizza dough is hard! I’ve never heard of that pizza sauce – I’m going to have to try that out!

    You guys definitely need to come over to Casa Smoellke for some grilled pizza – our favorite!
