🔥 Variations You Mentioned

• Air Fryer Version: Assemble in an air fryer-safe dish. Cook at 370°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

• Vegetarian: Omit the meat and pepperoni. Use sautéed veggies like spinach, onions, and artichokes. Consider adding chopped meatless “sausage” crumbles.

• Chicken Pizza Bowl: Use cooked, shredded chicken or diced chicken breast instead of sausage/beef. BBQ chicken (sugar-free sauce) or buffalo chicken versions are great.

• Extra Cheesy or Spicy Version:

  • Cheesy: Add a layer of ricotta or cream cheese under the sauce, or use a blend of mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan.

  • Spicy: Use spicy Italian sausage, add jalapeños, and use a spicy pizza sauce or pepperoncini. Top with extra crushed red pepper.
