Step-by-step photos can be seen below the recipe card.

Preheat oven to 500°F. If you have a pizza stone, heat it up for about 30 minutes.
Take the sausage meat out of the casing and make small 1-inch balls. Cook these sausage balls in a large skillet on medium-high heat until they're light brown and no longer pink, around 3-4 minutes. Drain them and put them on a plate with paper towels. Set them aside.
12 ounces Italian sausage links
Roll or gently stretch your pizza dough into a big circle. If you're not using a pizza stone, just put the stretched dough on a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you're using a pizza stone, sprinkle a bit of semolina flour on a pizza peel and lay the dough there.
1 pound pizza dough, Semolina flour
Spread the pizza sauce all over the dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
½ cup marinara sauce
Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese. Then distribute the cooked sausage and sliced pepper on top.
1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 red bell pepper
Bake it for 6-9 minutes until the edges of the crust are all golden and the cheese is all melty.
If you like, serve it with some chili oil for an extra kick. Enjoy!
