Course Main Course, Snack

Servings 6 people, 12-24 pieces depending on how big you cut them

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Grease an 18x12-inch baking sheet.
Unroll the dough, and gently stretch and press it down to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
Bake for 5 minutes.
While the crust is baking, if using Italian sausage, form into 1-inch balls, and add to a small skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cooked all the way through. Once it is done, line a plate with a few pieces of paper towel, and put the cooked sausage on the paper towel, then fold it onto itself, to absorb the grease.
Once the crust has baked for 5 minutes, remove it from the oven.
Pour the sauce into a small bowl, and add the garlic and Italian seasoning. Stir well.
Spread the sauce across the entire sheet of cooked pizza crust.
Sprinkle the cheese across the entire sheet of sauce topped pizza crust.
Add your toppings.
Bake for 11-16 minutes, depending on how golden you like your cheese to be.
Remove from the oven, cut, and serve!

Toppings used for this recipe include 28 slices of pepperoni, ⅓ lb Italian sausage, and ten sliced portobello mushrooms.
The entire pizza was covered with pepperoni, ⅔ of the pizza was covered with Italian sausage in addition to the pepperoni, and ⅓ of the pizza included mushrooms. However, feel free to load it with your favorite toppings.
If your tube of pizza crust does not mention pre-baking, do it anyway. This helps to make the perfect crust! Trust me; I have perfected my pizza recipe over the years!
I personally prefer Contadina or Great Value pizza sauce brands, but you can use whatever. These two just provide the best flavor, in my opinion.
