The Meatball Sub
“Everything you love about a meatball sub, flattened into pizza form.”
The Meatball Sub takes the beloved Italian-American sandwich and stretches it across a pizza crust. Crumbled sausage stands in for meatballs, joined by spoonfuls of ricotta, strips of roasted red pepper, and a blizzard of Parmesan. Fresh basil leaves scattered on top keep things bright and prevent the whole affair from becoming too heavy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I cook the sausage before putting it on the pizza?
Yes, brown the crumbled sausage in a skillet first until about 80% cooked. This renders out excess fat and ensures the sausage gets a nice caramelized flavor rather than steaming on the pizza.
Can I use actual meatballs instead of sausage?
Absolutely. Slice cooked meatballs in half and distribute them across the pizza. Just note they will be thicker, so your pizza may need an extra minute or two in the oven.
