Ingredients
1 pizza crust
5 cooked meatballs, halved
1 cup pizza sauce
1½ cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup part skim ricotta cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone on the middle rack. Allow it to heat for at least 10 minutes until fully preheated.
While the oven heats, warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender and lightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the oven and stone are fully heated, carefully remove the hot pizza stone from the oven and quickly place the pizza crust on it. Working fast to prevent the crust from cooling, spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Distribute the sautéed bell peppers over the sauce, then sprinkle 1 cup of the grated mozzarella cheese evenly across the top. Dollop small portions of ricotta cheese in scattered areas if desired.
Arrange the halved meatballs evenly over the cheese and peppers. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese over the top.
Carefully return the stone with the assembled pizza to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the crust is crispy and lightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy immediately.
