Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. (If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while the oven is preheating.)
- Cover a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients. Mix it all together, being careful to not overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs until they are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the meatballs from the oven and increase the temperature to 450ºF.
- Let the meatballs cool a few minutes, then slice each meatball in half.
- Stretch or roll the pizza dough out into a 12” circle. (See my pizza dough post for all my tips and tricks.)
- Spread the pizza sauce over the crust, then top with the halved meatballs and red onions. Sprinkle both cheeses over the top.
- Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Before serving, sprinkle with the basil.
Notes
- *I like my pizza crust a little thinner, so I will use about 12 oz of dough per pizza instead of 1 pound.
- See my pizza dough post for all of my pizza baking tips and tricks.
- This recipe was updated July of 2023. The original recipe used a packaged seasoning mix for the meatballs and this now uses an easy homemade mix of spices. The recipe was also cut down to one pizza instead of two.
