What Kind of Crust Should I Use?

For the best texture and ease, use store-bought pizza dough or a prebaked crust. You can also go the homemade route using biscuit dough if you want that true Southern-style finish. Crescent roll dough works as well for a flakier bite. Whichever you choose, bake it slightly before adding toppings so the crust stays firm beneath the rich gravy.

How To Make the Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.

Step 2: Make the Gravy

Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Slowly add the milk while stirring, cooking until the mixture thickens into a gravy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the gravy is too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time.

Step 3: Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out your pizza dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Prebake the crust for 5-7 minutes until slightly golden.

Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Add a few extra crumbles of sausage on top for extra flavor.

Step 5: Bake and Garnish

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Brush the edges of the crust with melted butter if desired. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

How to Serve and Store Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

Serve this breakfast pizza hot and fresh out of the oven alongside scrambled eggs or a light fruit salad for a complete brunch spread. It’s also great as a stand-alone dish when you want a comforting, cheesy bite.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F to revive the crispy crust and gooey cheese. It also freezes well if wrapped tightly—just thaw and reheat when needed.
