Step 1

Begin by preparing your dough the day before.

Step 2

To make the vodka sauce, add the oil to a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the onion and cook 5 minutes, until translucent.

Step 4

Add the garlic and Italian seasoning. Turn the heat to low and add the vodka. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the tomatoes and bring the mixture back to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside.

Step 6

Next, pre-cook your Italian sausage. In another pan over high heat, sear tablespoon-sized dollops of sausage in the pan until browned and mostly cooked through. Remove the cooked sausage to a plate.

Step 7

To assemble the pizza, preheat the pizza oven to 800 degrees F. Stretch the dough out thin. Top with some vodka sauce, then sausage and mozzarella.

Step 8

Bake for 5-7 minutes until spotted, browned, and gorgeous.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and top with even more sauce, fresh Romano, and some torn basil. Serve hot.
