Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Press the sausage into a round 9-inch cake pan. Aim for a thin, even layer so the crust will cook evenly.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and raise the oven temperature to broil.
Use paper towels to dab off excess grease from the sausage. If you'd like, you can transfer the crust to a baking sheet, but it will hold its shape better in the cake pan.
Spread the marinara sauce over the sausage crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Arrange the pepperoni, olives, and bell peppers in layers on top of the cheese. Top the pizza with the provolone slices.
Place the pizza under the broiler for 2-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven and let the pizza rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot.
