First Step: Combine the parmesan cheese, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Second Step: Add oil to a cast-ironed skillet and add the sausage once it’s hot. After the sausage is browned, remove it from the pan.
Third Step: Add more oil to the skillet. Pour in the mushrooms and green peppers then saute.
Fourth Step: Combine the browned sausage, cauliflower, peppers, and mushrooms in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well.
Fifth Step: Add a layer of the sausage mixture to the skillet and cover the bottom of the pan. Follow with a layer of pasta sauce. Then sprinkle some pepperoni on top of the sauce. Sprinkle on some cheese and repeat the layers again. After the last layer of pepperoni, add some black olives too. Let the cheese melt and serve your meatzza hot. Enjoy!
What Is Meatzza Pizza?
A meatzza pizza is basically a pizza that has no crust. Well, you may be wondering how this is possible. Basically, you cook the pizza toppings and the cheese and put it in a layer. Then you can eat it with a fork and enjoy all the flavors of pizza that you normally love without the crust.
Meatza Pizza Variations
We made our meatza pizza like a traditional supreme pizza with all the yummy stuff in it. You can actually add in even more meats and veggies if you want. Here are a few ideas to consider trying out:
- Cheddar Cheese - If you are a cheddar cheese fan, then you should add in a little bit! You can combine it with the mozzarella and parmesan to add even more depth to the dish.
- Onions - Saute up some white or red onions with the mushrooms and peppers. Eating onions on pizza is great if you are a fan.
- Bacon - Crumble up some cooked bacon in the meatzza pizza to the next level of good. Bacon makes everything better.
- Ham or Canadian Bacon - Add a few slices of ham to the layer with the pepperoni if you want even more meat.
- Hamburger - If you are a fan of all things beef, then you may want to brown up some ground beef for this meatza recipe. You can add it in with the sausage or swap it completely. Sausage has a lot more flavor than hamburger, so you may need to add some more seasonings.

Sounds yummy!!! The printed directions said start with 1/2 cup marinara sauce before the meat mixture but the video does not show this. Can this be done in a casserole dish and then put in the oven instead? What size would you use and how long in the oven?
Thanks!!
Taryn says
Yes, use the marinara before the meat. The printed direction is accurate. Yes, a casserole dish is fine. I have not tested this but probably a 9x13. I would bake just the sausage at 400 for 10 minutes and then add the other ingredients for an additional 15-20 minutes or so.

While the actual recipe itself (that I immediately jumped to) did not show when to use the cauliflower, the video and above step-by-step instructions (outside the actual recipe itself) however does further explain when to use the cauliflower. When you print out the actual recipe, don't forget to note this missing step on your copy. Whew! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was confused! 😊
Taryn says
The cauliflower is included in the "add veggies" but I can edit to be more specific. 🙂
Jane says
Looks delicious can't wait to try it.
Marcus says
I tried this recipe and my family loved it. They thought I was making a real pizza with a crust but they where amazed when the meatzza came out without any crust.
Wendy says
Where do you use the cauliflower?
