Crisp, flame-kissed crust meets bubbly cheese and a bold trio of sausage, mushrooms, and onions—simple, satisfying, and absolutely loaded with flavor. Whether you’re hosting a summer get-together or just craving something smoky and satisfying, this pizza with sausage delivers all the comfort of a traditional pie with a little extra char and personality.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 4 1/2 cups flour
  • 3 packages rapid rise yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups very warm water
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Toppings

  • 1 package Coleman Polish Kielbasa Uncured Sausage, sliced into small coins
  • 2, 14-ounce cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, cut in thin slices
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 large basil leaves, thinly sliced

Variation

Feel free to use store-bought dough if you would like!

Instructions

1
Dough: Combine 3 cups of the flour with the yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl and stir together. Add the water and olive oil and stir until everything is combined. Add the remaining flour and stir until smooth. If dough is still sticky, add a bit more flour, and then knead for a few minutes. Divide the dough into 4 balls and set aside, covered with a kitchen towel, while you prepare the toppings.
2
To make the pizza sauce, combine the tomatoes with the tomato paste, garlic powder, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, and then puree the pizza sauce in a blender or food processor or using a stick blender in the pan.
3
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft and the onions are nicely browned, about 10 minutes more. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
4
Add the sliced sausage to the same skillet and cook over medium high heat for a few minutes to brown the sausage. Drain on paper towels.
5
Heat the grill to high heat. While the grill is heating, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into 4 pizzas. Lay them on well-oiled baking sheets and take them, along with all of the toppings and some extra olive oil, to the grill.
6
Reduce the heat to low and lay the pizza crusts, oiled side down, on the grill. Cover and cook until lightly browned and cooked on the first side, about 3-5 minutes, checking frequently to pop any bubbles that might form. When the first side is cooked, brush the uncooked side with olive oil and then flip the crusts.
7
Spread each crust with about 1/3 cup of pizza sauce and then top the pizzas with half of the cheese. Divide the mushroom and onion mixture between the 4 pizzas, and then divide the sliced sausage between the 4 pizzas. Top with the remaining cheese, cover the grill, and cook until the bottom sides of the crusts are nicely browned and the cheese is fully melted, about 5-10 minutes longer. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Tips

The pizza dough and sauce can be made the day before and refrigerated until you are ready to use them. Or, if pressed for time, purchase prepared pizza dough and prepared pizza sauce instead of making your own. Refrigerate extra pizza sauce for up to a week or freeze up to 3 months.

Mushroom and Onion Pizza with Sausage

There’s a reason the combo of mushroom and onion never goes out of style. Mushroom and onion bring sweet and earthy notes that balance the richness of sausage and cheese. When grilled, they caramelize beautifully—adding texture and depth to every bite.

Together, these three ingredients create a layered flavor profile that works whether you prefer a red sauce base or something more neutral like garlic oil. You can even throw in a little crushed red pepper or fresh herbs for an extra kick.

Why Coleman Kielbasa Sausage Makes it a Better Pizza

For this grilled pizza, we love using Coleman Polish Kielbasa Uncured Sausage. It’s fully cooked, which means you can slice it straight from the package and let the grill do the rest. The kielbasa’s mild smokiness and balanced seasoning make it an ideal match for sweet onions and savory mushrooms.

Like all Coleman meats, this sausage is made with just a handful of clean, recognizable ingredients. No artificial preservatives, no antibiotics—just honest, full-bodied flavor that enhances the whole dish. Curious about kielbasa? Coleman’s got you covered with this Brief Guide to Polish Sausage.

How to Make Grilled Mushroom and Onion Pizza with Sausage

This mushroom and onion pizza with sausage is easy to prep and quick to cook, but it doesn’t cut corners when it comes to taste. Especially when you start with premium Coleman sausage.

To start, you’ll need a pizza dough that holds up well on the grill. Making it from scratch gives you full control over thickness and texture. Let it rest after kneading so it’s easy to stretch, then roll it thin for a crispier crust or a little thicker for more chew. Lightly brush the dough with oil to prevent sticking.

That said, there’s nothing wrong with store-bought dough—especially if you’re looking for a quick weeknight win. It’s convenient, adaptable, and grills up beautifully with just a little extra care.

Once the dough is prepped, start by grilling one side for a few minutes until it’s firm and lightly charred. Then flip it over and quickly layer on your toppings—sauce (or a drizzle of olive oil), shredded cheese, cooked mushrooms and onions, and slices of Coleman kielbasa. Close the grill lid to help the cheese melt and the crust finish cooking. In just a few more minutes, you’ll have a crisp-bottomed, melty-topped pizza that’s ready to slice and serve.

More Pizza Combos Featuring Coleman Meats

Once you’ve mastered pizza with sausage, mushroom and onion, the options are endless. Here are a few other meat + cheese combos that bring Coleman sausage to the spotlight:

Meat Lovers Pizza

Craving more protein? This Meat Lovers Pizza includes bacon, sausage, pepperoni, and ground pork—a flavor-packed favorite for hearty appetites.

Pulled Pork Pizza

Try swapping traditional sausage for tender pulled pork using Coleman’s How to Make Pulled Pork recipe. Add barbecue sauce, red onions, and pickled jalapeños for a bold twist.

Sausage and Goat Cheese

Pair kielbasa with creamy goat cheese and arugula. The peppery greens and tangy cheese balance the sausage’s savory profile perfectly.

Kielbasa and Pineapple

Think Hawaiian, but grown-up. Try kielbasa, fresh pineapple, and a spicy chili oil drizzle for sweet, smoky, and spicy all in one bite.

Sausage Breakfast Pizza

Use kielbasa with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and a hash brown base. It’s a brunch showstopper—just like Coleman’s Bacon, Egg, and Veggie Pizza.
