Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece pizza dough Fresh or store-bought
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese For melting goodness
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni Choose high-quality pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup black olives For color and taste
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese Piped to create web design
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled sausage Optional for added flavor
  • to taste Italian seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your pizza dough, usually around 425°F.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness.
  3. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Assembling
  1. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  2. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
  3. Take the sliced pepperoni and arrange it on top of the cheese to create a spider web pattern.
  4. In a small plastic bag, add the cream cheese and cut a tiny corner. Pipe the cream cheese to create web lines on top of the pepperoni.
  5. If using cooked sausage, sprinkle it evenly over the pizza, then season with Italian seasoning to taste.
Baking
  1. Place the pizza in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Serving
  1. Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a few minutes on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
  2. Slice and serve warm.
