Preparation

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425˚F. Heat up your grill and grill Johnsonville sausages on both sides until done, 8-9 minutes total. When cool enough to handle, slice on a bias so you get about a 1/4 inch thick size "coin".
  • 2
    Cut pizza dough with pizza cutter into thirds so you have three even rectangles. Place dough on prepared pizza stone. Spread the pesto onto your pizza dough and top with the sliced Johnsonville sausage. Then top with the Manchego cheese, white Cheddar cheese, artichoke heart, sun dried tomato, and olive blend.
  • 3
    Place pizza in preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until done and crust is a nice golden color. Careful not to over-bake. Remove immediately from oven and top with fresh arugula, then spoon or drizzle your homemade tzatziki sauce over the top. Garnish with feta cheese crumbles and fresh bell pepper. Buon Appetito!
