Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them from the skillet, chop into pieces and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausage and Beef

    In the same skillet, add ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables

    Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the meat mixture. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 5

    Prepare the Dough

    Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a greased pizza stone or baking sheet.

  2. 6

    Add Sauce

    Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough.

  3. 7

    Layer the Meats and Vegetables

    Evenly distribute the cooked meat and vegetable mixture over the sauce. Add the chopped bacon and pepperoni slices on top.

  4. 8

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the entire pizza.

Baking

  1. 9

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

  2. 10

    Cool and Slice

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into slices and serve hot.
