Italian Sausage Pizza

The Italian Sausage Pizza brings classic flavor, bold heat, and handcrafted balance to the Red Rock menu. It starts with house-made dough that rises slowly to develop depth and structure. Once shaped, the crust enters the wood-fired oven, where high heat creates a blistered exterior and a soft, airy interior. Because of that unique bake, every slice delivers chew, crunch, and a hint of smokiness.

San Marzano Tomato Sauce

The foundation of this pizza comes from vibrant San Marzano tomatoes. These tomatoes grow in volcanic soil near Mount Vesuvius, and they produce naturally sweet, low-acid flavor. Once simmered, the sauce becomes bright, smooth, and aromatic. It spreads lightly across the dough, allowing the toppings to shine while still adding depth. Additionally, a touch of garlic and basil rounds out the profile without overpowering the sausage.

Spicy Italian Sausage

Spicy Italian sausage provides the boldest notes in the dish. The sausage cooks until the edges caramelize, creating both richness and a gentle kick of heat. Each piece offers a balance of fennel, chili, and savory depth. As the pizza bakes, the sausage renders into the cheese and crust, which enhances the overall flavor and creates a cohesive bite. This ingredient also contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the San Marzano sauce.

Fresh Mozzarella

Fresh mozzarella melts into smooth, stretchy layers. Its mild profile balances the intensity of the sausage and adds creamy richness. Because the cheese browns lightly in the wood-fired oven, it gains subtle nutty notes that complement the crust’s char.

Why It Works

This pizza succeeds because it brings together sweetness, spice, and smoke. The tomatoes add brightness. The sausage brings heat. The mozzarella ties everything together. As a result, the Italian Sausage Pizza feels both familiar and elevated, making it a favorite for guests across Salt Lake City, Murray, and Park City.
