Piggy Pizza is a meat lover’s delight layered with savory Italian sausage, smoky ham, and spicy pepperoni atop gooey mozzarella and zesty sauce. What makes this pizza special is the final drizzle of red wine vinegar, which cuts through the richness of the pork and cheese, making every bite perfectly balanced. A touch of red onion adds sweetness and crunch, while the high-heat bake ensures a crisp, golden crust. This recipe brings together classic pizza shop flavors with a nuanced finish, making it an irresistible dinner for family or friends on a sunny California evening.

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside to heat.
On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Distribute Italian sausage, ham, and pepperoni evenly over the cheese. Add the red onion slices on top.
Drizzle the pizza with olive oil and crack black pepper over the toppings.
Carefully slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
While the pizza bakes, toss the red wine vinegar with a pinch of salt in a small bowl. When the pizza comes out, drizzle with the vinegar mixture to brighten flavors. Slice and serve immediately.
