Looking for the ultimate pizza night recipe that'll have everyone fighting over the last slice? This Supreme Pizza Recipe is exactly what you need!
I'll never forget the first time I made this at home. Emily was having friends over for a sleepover, and I wanted to do something special. Store-bought pizza felt boring, but I was nervous about making my own.
When I pulled this beauty out of the oven - golden crust, melted cheese bubbling, and all those gorgeous toppings - the girls went absolutely silent. Then they started cheering! Emily looked at me like I'd just performed magic.
This recipe combines everything you love about pizza: crispy pepperoni, savory Italian sausage, tender ham, fresh bell peppers, sweet onions, and briny black olives. It's loaded with flavor and surprisingly easy to make at home.
Speaking of easy pizza recipes, you've got to try my BBQ Chicken Pizza too - it's another family favorite that never disappoints!

How To Make Supreme Pizza Recipe Step By Step
Preparing The Dough And Toppings
- Make your pizza dough using your favorite recipe or grab some from the store. If using homemade, let it come to room temperature for easier rolling.
- Brown the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Slice all your vegetables - peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Keep them relatively thin so they cook evenly.
- Shred your cheeses using a box grater. Fresh cheese melts so much better than pre-shredded (trust me on this one!).
Rolling And Assembling Your Supreme Pizza
- Prep your work surface with a little olive oil and sprinkle some flour on top. This prevents sticking.
- Roll out the dough into your desired shape using a rolling pin. I like mine pretty thin - about ¼ inch thick.
- Transfer to your baking vessel - whether that's a greased cast iron skillet, pizza stone, or regular baking sheet.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch border for the crust. Use the back of a spoon for even coverage.
Adding Toppings And Baking
- Add half the mozzarella and parmesan directly over the sauce. This creates a good cheese base.
- Layer your meats - pepperoni, cooked sausage, and ham pieces. Distribute them evenly so every bite has some of each.
- Add the vegetables - mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and black olives. Spread them out nicely.
- Top with remaining cheese - this helps keep everything in place while baking.
- Bake in a preheated 500°F oven for 15-18 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
Storage And Reheating Your Supreme Pizza
Store leftover supreme pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap.
For the best reheating results, pop slices in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. This brings back that crispy crust texture way better than the microwave (which makes it soggy - yuck!).
You can also reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt again.
Pro tip: I sometimes brush the crust with a tiny bit of olive oil before reheating for extra crispiness.
Supreme Pizza Recipe Variations To Try
Want to mix things up? Here are some tweaks I've tried over the years:
- Go spicy - Add jalapeños, spicy Italian sausage, or red pepper flakes
- Make it meaty - Double up on the pepperoni and sausage for serious meat lovers
- Add more veggies - Try mushrooms, green peppers, or even spinach
- Switch the cheese - Use a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and provolone
- Try different meats - Swap ham for Canadian bacon or add some crispy bacon bits
The beauty of this homemade supreme pizza is that you can make it exactly how your family likes it. Emily always asks me to go light on the onions but heavy on the pepperoni!
