{Today I am partnering with my good friends over at DeLallo Italian Foods. They are making pizza night SIMPLE and EASY with their New Italian Pizza Dough Kit…which I am obsessed with!}
You guys, this pizza!! Oh this pizza!!
Let me just put it out there that well I have clearly been loving all the pumpkin… BIG TIME. In real life, meaning my not so exciting life, I may be loving pizza twice as much. Especially a charred brussels sprouts pizza, because brussels sprouts truly are one of my favorite foods!
But it’s cool, cause October happens to be national pizza month…meaning eating all pizza, ALL the time is completely acceptable. As if I needed an excuse… sheesh.
So lets talk about this pizza. I’ve done a lot of things with brussels sprouts. Way back in the day I made some crazy awesome fettuccine, and then some Thanksgiving inspired nachos (YUM – these have brie!). I’ve also made: brussels sprout mac + cheese, salad, spaghetti, egg rolls and of course this year’s ramen soup! I told you, I LOVE brussels spouts.
You know what’s weird though? I have yet to put brussels sprouts on a pizza. I have seen it done many times over the years but have yet to actually try it myself. I know, craziness… I mean, what was I thinking?!?
Do you see this pizza?? All pizzas should have charred brussels. No really, I don’t mess around with my pizza, I think you guys know this. You know who else does not mess around with pizza?
DeLallo Italian Foods! One of my all time favorite Italian food brands that I honestly use in my kitchen on a daily basis. In case you where wondering – their olive oil is superb.
Anyway, today I have partnered with DeLallo to bring you this pizza. See DeLallo got all genius on us and created an Italian Pizza Dough Kit that’s so simple, all you need is the kit + water. It really doesn’t get any easier, and the dough tastes like it’s straight from your Italian grandma’s kitchen. Well, I don’t have an Italian grandma, so I cannot say that for sure, BUT I can say that this kit creates one amazing crust and I am so excited to show you guys how to use it today!
Like I said, the dough is so easy to make. You just need water and a bowl. Mix it all up and let it rise…simple, right?
Yes!
And while that dough is rising, you can get to work on your toppings. They’re all pretty easy, you’re really just caramelizing some brussels sprouts in a skillet, grabbing some pesto, provolone + fontina cheese and browning some butter + sage. I have found that pizza doesn’t need a ton of topping to be amazing, just a few key ingredients and you’re good to go!
Then you just throw everything together, let the pizzas bake, brown some butter (I’ll get to this in a minute), drink a glass of wine… and then eat fresh delicious pizza! Relaxing Sunday night, right??
Totally.
Okay, so lets talk about this browned sage butter pizza topping. I know it seems like a bit much, BUT… I’m not asking you to add a whole stick of butter or anything… just a little drizzle goes a LONG way. Trust me, you really want this butter, it adds incredible flavor. And the fried sage… it adds color and seasoning that I know you’ll love!!
Bottom line, don’t skip the butter… or the sage. Mmm, k?!? Cool.
Oh, or the prosciutto…another pizza topping favorite of mine!
And the fun part, another video! You guys have to let me know what you think of these videos. Are you into them? Any suggestions for me? Any videos you’d like me to do? Do you hate them?
What you think?
I personally love this video, because um… it shows you all how to make this delicious pizza!
This pizza is everything your Sunday night needs. Just telling it like it is…
And now, video time!!

Charred Brussels Sprout Pizza with Browned Sage Butter.
Ingredients
- 1 DeLallo Pizza Dough Kit
- 1 pound brussels sprouts, quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt + pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup DeLallo Basil Pesto
- 4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed*
- 8 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
- 6 ounces fontina cheese, shredded
- 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- 6 leaves fresh sage
Instructions
- Prepare the DeLallo Pizza Dough Kit according to the directions on the bag, allowing the dough to rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone, stick it in the oven about 30 minutes before you are ready to bake the pizzas.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the brussels sprouts in a single layer and sprinkle with brown sugar and salt + pepper. Let sit 1 minute then stir. Continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Remove from the heat.
- Once the pizza dough is ready, divide the dough in half. Use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the dough out until you have a flattened disk. Place the pizza on a piece of parchment paper, then use your hands to gently tug, pull and push the pizza dough into your desired shape. If you don't have a pizza stone, place the pizzas on two cookie sheets.
- In a bowl, mash together the pesto + roasted garlic. Spread the pesto evenly over both pizzas. Add the brussels sprouts, dividing them evenly among the two pizzas. Finally top each pizza with the cheese.
- Bake the pizza for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is all melty and gooey.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the sage and allow the butter to brown and the sage to fry. Once the sage has been cooking for 30 seconds, flip and cook another 30 seconds. Then remove the sage from the skillet to a paper towel lined plate. Keep the browned butter warm.
- When the pizzas come out of the oven, top each with fresh prosciutto, fried sage leaves and just a little drizzle of butter. Slice and EAT!

Making Sunday Pizza a tradition. <–DO IT.
I haven’t tried brussels sprouts on pizza either but that needs to change soon!
Girl, how on EARTH do you stay so thin with all the deliciousness you create?!? This pizza looks incredible! I would eat the whole thing, haha!
I loooove this pizza, it’s so hearty, perfect for these colder months. I love the prosciutto and sage together, it’s my go to combo, I would never have thought to add brussels sprouts to this combination though.
You had me at browned sage butter! Dying to try this pizza, I must add it to this week’s line up! 🙂
I usually don’t care for Brussel sprouts ( I used to roll them away under the table as a kid), but I’m going to try this. I like the video. It helps with understanding the details
I LOVE this!! I am such a brussels sprout fan too, but I have never tried them caramelized. I love your tip about using honey too, I think I might try that. Because honey on roasted sprouts is AMAZING, so I can only imagine what it will be caramelized. And such a good video! Keep it up. I am loving it, and you offer such good instructions! Great job Tieghan 🙂
AWE! Thank you so much, Chelsea!! I will keep working on the videos! 🙂
The browned butter, oh I can’t. It’s like a sagey cherry on top.
hehe! THANKS!
Oh this is awesome…..loving all the cheeses and the prosciutto. Brussels is not a veggie I do often as the hubby is not a fan, but trust me, done your way and on your pizza with all the great toppings, he would not even know he was eating them. 🙂 . I am so doing this 🙂 🙂 🙂
Love the video by the way, I have loved them all.
Thank you so much!! So happy you like the pizza and the video!
Dude! I was literally just wondering about having a Brussel sprouts pizza for dinner.I was gonna make a boring ol’ margherita and just throw some roasted spouts on top, but this just changed the game. Because fontina.
Is it dinnertime yet?
haha! No way! Thanks Annie! Hope you had a great weekend!
Great recipe and photos! I’m a big fan of brussels sprouts so this one’s for me! 🙂
Thanks so much! Hope you had a great weekend!
The videos are turning out great Tieghan! Love to watch you in your kitchen making the recipe. This is my favorite video yet. You seemed very calm while you were cooking and like you had everything under control. I loved how your excitement about your food came through in the video.
Awe! Thank you! Videos are hard!! I am still trying to get used to them!
I need to get this pizza crust and try it.
But my pizza will have pepperoni and sausage on it.
I also use DeLallo pesto and olive oil and really like them.
I looked up these products when you mentioned them before.
Thanks for letting us know about good products out there.
Thanks Nancy! 🙂 Got to love DeLallo!
wow – the pizza looks so divine! crunchy and soft at the same time. and brussels sprouts totally rock – what a great idea to put it on a pizza. great recipe.
Thank you guys so much! Means a lot! hope you both had a great weekend!
I love brussel sprouts!!! But on the pizza front I’m quite the particular boring person, I have a very strong penchant for tuna, tomato and olive pizza… hardly ever do I get out of my pizza comfort zone, but I’m absolutely curious about trying some brussel sprouts on my next pizza…

you’re on a roll with all these videos!! love this one just as much as i enjoyed the others. and a pound of brussels sprouts- as much as i’d love to devour allll the cheese in the world, i’m glad there’s some veggies to break it all up (:
hehe! Thanks Heather!! Hope you had a great weekend!
