Don’t look at this pizza for one second and think my kids ate this.
They did not.
Boring kids that they are, they got cheese.
Friday night is homemade pizza night at our house.
Those kids of mine get cheese, but I always mix it up for the mans and I.
Ok, we all get that I’m weird…a bit off…so I’m just gonna come out and say it…..
I don’t like red sauce on my pizza.
I mean, sure I’ll eat it and all..I’ll eat anything you put in-font of me. But I prefer a white pizza.
Mix up a ricotta mixture with some spices and olive oil, slather it on the crust, top with random things..mmmmmm.
Also, I’m not a big Italian Sausage person either. ewww.
Well, Johnsonville sent me some coupons for their new Chicken Sausage.
I had the 3 Cheese Italian Sausage.
Ohhh, lord have mercy it was good. Like super good.
I only cooked one to slice and put on my pizza. But after I tasted it, I cooked up two more so the hubby and I could munch on them while the pizzas were cooking.
I have been cheating lately and using Flatbread Pizza Crust. My fav is Stonefire.

I’m a red sauce kind of girl, but this looks far too good to pass up!
We used to have regular pizza night but haven’t had one in awhile. Thanks for the inspiration!
i prefer white pizza too. i had no idea it even existed until i moved to philly, what a sheltered baby i was! this looks awesome, gonna have to try the sausage!
This looks great! I love pizza without the tomato sauce occasionally!
I love a good red sauce pizza, but sometimes I seriously crave white sauce. And always sausage!! This is so pretty.
This looks absolutely delicious. I love white pizza! And sausage too!
Is it bad that I am totally craving pizza and it’s only 8:45 am? It looks totally delicious.
white pizza is my go-to choice these days, and i love the addition of sausage! forget pepperoni. 🙂
