Why You’ll Love This Supreme Pizza

The idea of a “Supreme Pizza” is that it takes all of the best pizza toppings and combines them on top of one pie. It’s a combo of a veggie pizza and a meat-lovers deluxe pizza, traditionally including sausage, pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, and onions. I stuck with that combo for this recipe, adding mushrooms and parmesan cheese in addition to the mozzarella.

  • Make it your way. You can customize your pizza toppings as you see fit, but the combination in this recipe is our go-to. The flavors just work so well together! However, if there are any ingredients you’re not a super-fan of, feel free to leave them out. And if you want to add something else, go for it!
  • Easy to make gluten free. You can use any kind of crust, as long as you par-bake it. I use my gluten free crust (more details on that below), but you can use a traditional pizza dough recipe, store bought crust, or even cauliflower crust to make it low carb.
  • Comes together quickly. Once your crust is ready, you just have to pile on the toppings and pop it in the oven. DIY pizza night might be faster than delivery!

Recipe Ingredients

You’ll start with your favorite pizza crust, and I always use my gluten free pizza crust recipe. After that, what exactly are the tasty pizza toppings in question? Read on to find out in this brief rundown! You’ll find the full amounts and detailed instructions in the recipe card further down in the post.

  • Italian Sausage: Uncooked. You can also use Italian turkey sausage or ground beef, if preferred.
  • Pizza Sauce: Use your favorite from a jar or make homemade marinara sauce.
  • Pepperoni Slices: This classic pizza topping never gets old! Pork or turkey pepperoni both work equally well.
  • Red & Green Bell Peppers: Thinly sliced. You can use all of one or the other or any other color bell pepper.
  • Small Red Onion: Thinly sliced. A sweet white onion would be fine too.
  • Black Olives: Sliced. Feel free to substitute kalamata olives.
  • Mushroom: Thinly sliced. Omit if you aren’t a fan.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded, preferably freshly for the best melted versus the kind from a bag.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Grated.
  • Minced Parsley: Optional, for garnish.

How to Make Supreme Pizza

The first order of business for this pizza is its foundation – the gluten-free crust. It’s super quick and easy to throw together. For ingredients and step-by-step instructions detailing how to make it, check out the recipe here! Once that’s done, you can focus on the fun part – adding all the toppings! Let’s take a look at the basic steps and photos. The complete directions are down below in the reicpe card.

  • Pre-Bake Crust: Prepare and par-bake the crust as directed in the recipe above, or following the directions of your favorite homemade or storebought crust.
  • Cook Sausage: While the crust is pre-baking, remove the sauce from the casing and saute it in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until fully cooked and no longer pink. Set aside.
  • Spread Sauce Over Crust: Spread an even layer of sauce over the crust.
  • Add Toppings: Scatter the cooked sausage over the sauce, followed by pepperoni, red and green pepper, onion, olives and mushroom.
  • Add Cheese: Top with the mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese.
  • Bake: Return the prepared pizza to the oven and bake it for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown.
  • Garnish & Serve: Remove your pizza from the oven and garnish it with parsley, if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Variations

There are tons of ways to change up this pizza to make it your own. Here are some suggestions!

  • Use a Different Sauce: Sometimes, classic pizza sauce really hits the spot. Other times, it feels boring! This pizza tastes amazing with alfredo sauce, pesto sauce or vodka sauce as a substitute.
  • Use Turkey Sausage or Ground Beef: Italian sausage is a well-loved pizza topping, but turkey sausage and ground beef are also excellent choices for supreme pizza.
  • Try Other Cheeses: Who doesn’t love cheese? If you prefer your pizzas with feta or cheddar, go ahead and use one of those in place of the parmesan or mozzarella. Other options include goat cheese, provolone, gorgonzola, etc.

Tips for Success

Want some more advice for making a gluten-free supreme pizza from scratch? These quick and easy tips have got you covered.

  • Don’t Forget to Pre-Bake: It’s important to partially bake the crust before you cook it with the toppings on. This should only take 8-10 minutes. If you skip this step, your crust won’t cook all the way – and no one wants a floppy pizza!
  • Control the Amount of Crust: If you like a smaller crust on your pizza, spread out the sauce and toppings as close to the edge as you can. If you want a bigger crust, leave more space.
  • Don’t Underbake or Overbake: When your pizza is done, the crust will be golden and the cheese will be bubbly. Avoid baking this pizza for too long or too little.
  • Don’t Go Overboard with Toppings: You can totally add additional toppings to this pizza, but within reason. Don’t try to stuff on an extra pound of toppings, or the pizza won’t bake properly.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Leftover supreme pizza should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat it, place it in a 400°F oven for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is sizzling.
