Description
Some meals are made for slowing down but others are made for game days, busy weeknights and everything in between. This Tex-Mex Pizza with Sausage hits that sweet spot — fast, flavorful and full of Texas flair. It’s the kind of recipe that brings everyone to the table in no time, especially when there’s a big game on and no one wants to miss kickoff.
We like to think of this one as pizza night done Kountry Boys-style. Instead of pepperoni or plain cheese, we load it up with slices of Kountry Boys Smoked Pico de Gallo Sausage — a fan favorite for a reason. It’s smoky, a little spicy and packed with bits of pico flavor that make every bite pop. Add some jalapeño heat, a handful of mozzarella and a golden crust that crisps up just right in the oven and you’ve got yourself a meal worth cheering for.
It’s simple, satisfying and doesn’t require much more than a baking sheet, an oven and a few minutes of patience. This pizza recipe is the kind of cooking that fits right in around here — hearty, unfussy and made to share.
Bringing the Heat Texas-Style
Every great pizza starts with a good foundation. In this case, we’re keeping things easy with store-bought thin crusts — the kind that get nice and crispy without a long rise or a pile of dishes. If you’ve got a pizza stone, this is a good time to pull it out. The extra heat from the stone helps the crust develop that perfect crunch on the bottom while keeping the center tender.
Before anything else, brush each crust with a drizzle of olive oil. It’s a small step, but it gives you that deep golden color and keeps the crust from getting soggy under the sauce. Speaking of sauce, we’re sticking with a simple red pizza base — smooth and tangy to balance the heat from the jalapeños and sausage.
Once the sauce is spread, it’s time for the fun part. Sprinkle a generous handful of mozzarella over each crust — enough to create a gooey layer that holds everything together. Then start building: tomato slices for freshness, thin strips of white onion for a little bite and rounds of jalapeño for a kick that reminds you this is no ordinary pizza.
And now the star of the show — Kountry Boys Smoked Pico de Gallo Sausage. Each slice is packed with smoky flavor, bits of pepper and onion and a hint of pico brightness that ties the whole thing together. Scatter it over the top like confetti, making sure every slice gets a little love.
Slide your pizzas into a 425°F oven and bake until the edges turn golden and the cheese starts bubbling in little brown spots — about 14 to 16 minutes. The smell will hit you long before they’re done: roasted sausage, melted cheese and warm crust blending into one mouthwatering aroma that’ll have everyone peeking into the oven.
Serving It Up Right
When the pizzas come out, don’t rush them. Let them cool for a minute or two — it helps the cheese set so you can slice clean wedges without losing all that gooey goodness. Then finish them off with a sprinkle of parmesan for a salty kick and a handful of fresh cilantro to brighten things up.
If you’re serving a crowd, cut the pizzas into smaller squares instead of slices. They make the perfect grab-and-go bites for tailgates, parties or family movie nights. You can even throw a few extra toppings on one for variety — maybe roasted corn or black beans if you want to lean into the Tex-Mex theme.
Pair this pizza with an ice-cold drink, a good game and a few hungry friends and you’ve got yourself a Texas night done right. It’s easy, bold and built on the kind of flavor that keeps folks coming back for seconds.
The best part? You can switch things up with any Kountry Boys sausage flavor you’ve got on hand. The Jalapeño Smoked or Queso Sausage works just as well — each one adds its own spin while keeping that same smoky, hearty Kountry Boys taste you know and love.
So next time you’re short on time but big on appetite, skip the delivery and fire up the oven. This Tex-Mex Pizza with Sausage proves that good food doesn’t have to be complicated — just good ingredients and a little Texas know-how.
