# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.
04 -
Par-bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until it starts to set but not fully cooked.
05 -
Remove the crust from the oven. Spread an even layer of pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
06 -
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
07 -
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage, bacon, pepperoni, ham, and ground beef over the cheese.
08 -
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the top.
09 -
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10 -
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides and dipping sauces.
# Notes:
01 -
Spread the toppings evenly to ensure each slice gets a bit of everything.
02 -
For a crispy crust, bake the pizza on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel.
03 -
Allow the pizza to rest for a few minutes before slicing to prevent the cheese and toppings from sliding off.
