Mardi Gras Pizza
Pizza dough filled with Andouille sausage, pineapple, green pepper, tomato sauce and two kinds of cheese. To make this nice and spicy I use creole seasoning, andouille sausage and pepper jack cheese. Keep in mind, if you don’t like spicy use regular sausage and just mozzarella cheese.
Spray a cast iron pan, pizza pan or baking sheet with oil. If you use cast iron, put the skillet in a preheated 425º oven for 15 minutes.
Slice the andouille sausage and, over medium heat, brown in a skillet on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine tomato paste with creole seasoning.
Slice green pepper and onion.
Grate pepper jack cheese, whatever amount you think you will need, I grated about 2 cups.
Take the pizza dough out of the refrigerator and shape it on the counter. If using cast iron, carefully take the pan out of the oven and quickly lay the shaped dough into the pan. If using a baking sheet or pizza pan place the dough on them.
Bake the dough for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully spread the seasoned tomato paste on the crust. The skillet will be VERY hot!
Place the sliced andouille sausage and pineapple on the sauce.
Spread the pepper jack cheese on top.
Add the onion and green pepper slices.
Top with about 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 8 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Slice and serve.

Yummy 🤤 post
Thank you!
Oh, I do like spicy
I put a tablespoon of creole seasoning in and with the sausage and pepper jack cheese, it was over powered with heat. So I wrote the recipe up with just 1 teaspoon for next time as the pepper jack cheese added a LOT of heat too. We love spicy too if you can’t tell. 🤣
That looks really delicious 😋
You are so kind, thank you Randy!
You’re welcome ☺️
What a great topping idea for a pizza, would never have thought of that one!
It turned out to be a delicious combination, thank you Paul!
Mardi Gras? Didn’t we just have Christmas? 🙂 Looks delicious!
Every day is a holiday where I live! 🤣 Thank you Betty!
Delicious! Yummy 🙏☺️🌺
Thank you!
This one is certainly different Diane! Sounds tasty.
We have the same kind of pizza every time we buy it or I make it. It was so much fun tasting a different kind and it was really tasty too!
This looks really good and pizza is probably my favourite food! My choice if lost on a deserted island lol
It was fun making a pizza different from our usual kind and it tasted great too. Thank you Susan!
Sounds delicious, Diane!
Thank you so much Linda!
It’s probably a bit too spicy for me, but it sounds yummy for those who enjoy spice.
Carla you can still enjoy this without the heat and in any size sheet pan you want. Use your favorite sausage, cheddar or mozzarella cheese instead of pepper jack and whatever seasoning you love best. This was very spicy but I put too much creole seasoning in for us. I used 1 Tbsp and next time I will use 1 tsp and see if that’s not as hot. I used a lot of pepper jack cheese too which is hot. My recipe card reflects the change in the seasoning.
I do want to try using my cast iron pan to make pizza. I would definitely not put in the creole seasoning. I like pepper jack cheese but in small doses. I will have to try this with some changes for my palate.
That’s different – wow – the Andouille sausage would make it spicy too … nice! Perfect for tomorrow too, since the Super Bown is being held in New Orleans.
They turned out very good Linda. That was Terry’s pizza and on mine I left out green pepper and onion. It was fun making and trying a different tasting pizza.
Yes, something different for sure!
This looks mouthwatering good – great presentation!
Thank you for your kind words!
This would’ve been perfect for Super Bowl weekend. I love the way you folded in the crust too. Very elegant!
Awe thank you Ab! I made myself one too without green peppers. Lol
Thank you for sharing!
This looks like amazing pizza and I like that you cooked it in your iron skillet.
Ever since the first time we used the cast iron skillet, I put away the pizza pan! It tastes so much like it does from a brick oven. Thank you!
What a great way to make pizza! It looks delicious – I might use a less spicy sausage, but the rest sounds good to me!
I have never tried making a pizza like this and I could kick myself! Even my husband loved this one and he doesn’t ever change his pizza. I get him to try things differently by saying it’s for my blog. Lol
Haha, you’re so clever!!
