- Unabashedly thick. Unrelentingly cheesy. Homemade dough and pizza sauce combine with sausage, pepperoni, onion, peppers, and cheese - tons of it - for a deep skillet bake. A work of craftsmanship fitting for a solar eclipse! Just don’t call it a “casserole," at least not until you're in the totality.
