Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the sheet pan inside while the oven heats to help the bottom of the crust crisp up.

- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and drizzle with olive oil.
- Transfer the dough into the pan and gently press it out to the edges.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and oregano over the sauce.
- Add shredded mozzarella evenly across the surface.
- Distribute cooked Italian sausage and layer pepperoni slices over the top.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and cheese is bubbling.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan and red chili flakes to taste.
- Let cool slightly, then slice into 12 squares and serve hot!
