Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Q: Can I use store-bought biscuits instead of homemade dough?
Yes! You can press canned biscuit dough into a pizza shape or use crescent roll dough for a softer crust.
Q: What kind of sausage should I use?
Use breakfast sausage (mild or spicy). You can also substitute turkey sausage or plant-based sausage for a lighter option.
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Bake the biscuit crust and prepare the sausage gravy ahead of time, then assemble and bake when ready to serve.
Q: What cheese works best?
Cheddar is classic, but you can also use mozzarella, pepper jack, or a Colby blend for extra flavor.
Q: Can I add eggs to this pizza?
Yes! Scrambled eggs or cracked eggs baked on top make this even more of a hearty breakfast pizza.
