Take the sausage meat out of the casing and make small 1-inch balls. Cook these sausage balls in a large skillet on medium-high heat until they're light brown and no longer pink, around 3-4 minutes. Drain them and put them on a plate with paper towels. Set them aside.

Roll or gently stretch your pizza dough into a big circle. If you're not using a pizza stone, just put the stretched dough on a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you're using a pizza stone, sprinkle a bit of semolina flour on a pizza peel and lay the dough there.

Spread the pizza sauce all over the dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
