Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough homemade or store bought
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce recipe here
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese freshly shredded
  • 4 oz parmesan freshly shredded
  • 8 pepperoni slices
  • 2 bacon slices cooked and crumbled
  • 2 canadian bacon slices cut into smaller pieces
  • 1/4 lb spicy or mild Italian sausage cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp red pepper chili flakes optional

Instructions

  • Set the oven rack to the lower position. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • Allow the prepared pizza dough to sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes. This step is only required if you’re working with a refrigerated dough.
  • Prepare the toppings: fry the bacon, cook the sausage, shred the cheese using a GoodCook Grater, and measure out the rest.
  • Shape the Dough – On a lightly floured surface, stretch and shape the dough into a 10-inch circle—transfer to the baking sheet. Use fingers to press into a 12-inch circle. Leave the edges slightly thicker, about ½-inch tall and wide.
  • Brush olive oil on the edges to make the crust crispier when baked.
  • Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, followed by the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, pepperoni, bacon, Canadian bacon, and sausage. Sprinkle on italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if desired).
  • Cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 to 13 minutes.
  • Immediately slice and serve while still hot.

Notes

HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT LEFTOVER MEAT LOVERS PIZZA
If you take a little extra time to properly store your pizza, you’ll end up with fresher tasting leftovers, and the texture will be more similar to when it was fresh.
I like to line an GoodCook EveryWare airtight container with paper towels and stack each slice inside in between layers of more paper towels. If you need to, separate the slices into more than one container.
Place the container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Refrigerated pizza can be reheated on a GoodCook AirPerfect Pizza pan in a conventional oven set to 350 degrees or toaster oven set to 400 degrees. Watch the slices closely and heat until bubbly and heated through, about 5-10 minutes.
