No need to make pizza dough from scratch to get delicious sausage & pepper pizza on the table with pre-baked pizza crust. You can put this together in no time and your party guests will think you slaved over this crunchy & cheesy classic pizza flavor. Perfect for so many parties and what pizza hasn’t been? This makes a perfect appetizer for your next party or cut it into larger portions and you got an easy weekday dinner that your kids will be excited over. I love the rectangle shape of this pizza crust; it makes it easy to cut into square bites. You can also make this ahead of time and throw it in the freezer and it will be party ready in about 30 minutes from freezer to oven.

Instructions
-

Evenly sprinkle the Mozzarella cheese all over the surface, followed by the mixed bell pepper strips
