Remember the school breakfast pizza you loved as a kid? We recreated it for home. This nostalgic, four-ingredient breakfast pizza is quick and simple to make, and it’s so popular with kids (and adults) you might want to double the batch.
Flaky pizza dough topped with savory sausage and creamy country-style gravy becomes an irresistible breakfast — warm, comforting, and familiar. It’s a great way to start the day and makes mornings noticeably easier.
Don’t take our word for it…
OH MY GOODNESS! This recipe is brilliant. Using the gravy for the sauce and adding the sausage was DELICIOUS! It was so easy to put together. Everyone loved it. – Katie
Here are some more reasons you will love it…
- Super nostalgic: Pizza for breakfast brings back school cafeteria memories. Our version is homemade and full of flavor, so it tastes even better than the original boxed version.
- Extremely easy: This recipe is fast to assemble — perfect for busy mornings. It’s simple enough to prepare before the kids leave for school.
- Great for meal prep: Make an extra pizza, slice it, freeze the pieces, and reheat as needed. Individual slices thaw and warm quickly in the air fryer or microwave, making breakfasts even faster during the week.
Let’s grab what you need and get cooking
- Pizza dough: Use your favorite store-bought or homemade dough. If you need a gluten-free option, choose gluten-free dough so everyone can enjoy the same meal.
- Country gravy: Swap traditional tomato sauce for country gravy to give this pizza a true breakfast flavor. You can use a store-bought mix for speed or make a homemade sausage gravy if you prefer.
- Whisk the gravy thoroughly to remove lumps. Spread gravy across the par-baked crust to the edges before topping with cheese and cooked sausage — no bare crust needed.
Note: Many commercial gravies use wheat flour to thicken, so if you need a gluten-free version, look for a labeled gluten-free gravy at the grocery store.

Notes
How should I store the leftovers?

Pro tip: Add favorite toppings like sliced green onions, peppers, or a sprinkle of paprika to personalize the pizza.
