Biscuits and sausage gravy breakfast pizza was born on a lazy Saturday morning when I craved something comforting and hearty but also a little fun and unexpected and I had leftover biscuit dough and some sausage in the fridge so I thought why not combine them into a pizza and when I pulled it out of the oven with that golden biscuit crust and creamy gravy bubbling under crispy sausage crumbles and melty eggs I knew I had created something special and everyone rushed to the table for a slice and now it’s one of our most requested weekend breakfasts.
I love making this biscuits and sausage gravy breakfast pizza because it feels like a cozy Southern breakfast turned into a party and the buttery biscuit base is so fluffy yet crisp at the edges and the savory sausage gravy melts into every bite and the pockets of egg and gooey cheese make it completely irresistible and it’s the perfect dish to bring people together for a slow, happy morning and every slice feels like a big, warm hug.
Ingredients
- Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
- Biscuit dough — Acts as the crust, giving a fluffy, buttery base to the pizza.
- Breakfast sausage — Adds hearty, savory flavor throughout.
- All-purpose flour — Helps create the rich gravy.
- Milk — The key to a creamy, smooth sausage gravy.
- Salt and black pepper — Essential for seasoning the gravy just right.
- Eggs — Scrambled and scattered for extra richness and protein.
- Shredded cheese — Melts beautifully and adds a gooey, cheesy layer.
- Butter — Used to cook the eggs gently and add flavor.
Tools You’ll Need
- Skillet — For cooking the sausage and preparing the gravy.
- Whisk — Helps keep the gravy lump-free and silky.
- Baking sheet or pizza pan — For baking the pizza evenly.
- Spatula — Useful for scrambling eggs and spreading toppings.
- Rolling pin — To shape the biscuit dough into a pizza crust.
- Measuring cups and spoons — For accuracy with ingredients.

Instructions
Step 1
I start by preheating the oven to 400°F and rolling out the biscuit dough into a large circle to fit a baking sheet or pizza pan.
Step 2
I transfer the dough to the prepared pan and bake it for about 8 to 10 minutes, just until it starts to set but isn’t fully golden.
Step 3
While the crust bakes, I cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet until browned, then remove it and set it aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, I add a bit of flour and cook for a minute to create a roux, then gradually whisk in milk to form a thick, creamy sausage gravy. I season it with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
In another skillet, I scramble the eggs gently with a bit of butter until just set.
Step 6
I spread the sausage gravy generously over the partially baked biscuit crust.
Step 7
I sprinkle the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Step 8
I return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
I let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Tips
If you want to add a little heat, I sometimes sprinkle red pepper flakes or add hot sauce on top before serving. You can also mix in veggies like bell peppers or onions with the sausage for extra flavor. Make sure not to overbake the crust during the first bake so it stays fluffy in the center.
Ways to Serve
I love serving this with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad to balance the richness. It’s also amazing on its own with a steaming cup of coffee or sweet tea. This pizza makes a fantastic brunch centerpiece or a fun breakfast-for-dinner option.
