OH MY GOODNESS! This recipe is brilliant. Using the gravy for the sauce and adding the sausage was DELICIOUS! It was so easy to put together. Everyone loved it. – Katie
Here are some more reasons you will love it…
- It’s super nostalgic: Tony’s breakfast pizza sausage is the original which inspired our recipe. I mean come on, pizza for breakfast? Genius. These easy breakfast pizzas will take you down memory lane, reminding you of middle school pizza day. My cafeteria was small and could but the breakfast pizza was always a hit. Just like our tater tot casserole, it is a kid favorite. But it’s even better than the schools since it is homemade with love.
- It’s the easiest recipe ever: When we were developing it in our home kitchen, I was shocked at how incredibly simple it was. So simple in fact, that I could make it before the kids headed off for school. Which is saying allot was I’ve got 5 kiddos to et ready.
- It is a great meal prep breakfast: I have found that making an extra batch then cutting it into slices and giving it a quick 15 minute par-freeze then putting slices individually into freezer bags so you can easily air fry slices as needed or even heat them in the microwave. Our protein balls and banana protein muffins are also a great for this purpose.
Let’s grab what you need and get cooking
- Pizza dough: For this recipe, you can use whatever pizza dough you would like. If you are feeling really fancy, go ahead and use homemade dough (but you totally don’t have to). We use gluten free pizza dough in our house since I have celiac disease and don’t want to make two different meals. Nobody would every know ours is gluten-free though.
- Country gravy: Instead of tomato sauce as your pizza sauce, we use country gravy mix to give this recipe more of a breakfast taste. When you add in the sausage, you get a yummy sausage gravy as your pizza sauce. If you prefer, you can also make it homemade but I find this to be quick and easy.
- This is literally the easiest breakfast! Make sure that when you make the gravy, you whisk it well to get the clumps out. I like to spread it all the way to the edges of the baked pizza before generously topping with cheese and the cooked sausage and baking again. This pizza doesn’t need a border left without sauce and toppings.
Gravy does usually contain gluten to make the gravy thicker, so if you are going for a gluten-free recipe you will want to find a gluten-free gravy. You will be able to find this at your local grocery store. Most brands will have gluten-free options.
We love breakfast too and these are some of our other favorites…
Our gluten-free breakfast casserole is another healthy breakfast that your kids will love. For a sweet breakfast, try our cinnamon roll French toast that you can cook in an Instant Pot! A fan favorite in our house is also our oat flour pancakes with buttermilk syrup. But we are also big fans of our gluten free cinnamon rolls and gluten free crepes. Need something fast? You can make our 1-minute gluten free pancake mix to have on hand at all times to use in this recipe.

Do you precook the sausage?
Chandice says
Yes, sorry Megan. I have updated it.

Can you make your own gravy with sausage already mixed into it?
Chandice says
Absolutely!

Can this be put together the night before & then just popped in the oven in The morning?
Chandice says
Absolutely! Just make sure to cover with plastic wrap before putting in the refrigerator.
Marianne Kleminski says
What brand of pizza dough do you buy? What brand of gravy mix?
Chandice says
Pioneer gluten-free country gravy and I am not sure which gf pizza dough I used. Probably King Arthur flour.

Could you use puff pastry rolls?
Chandice says
I think that would be great!
