Ingredients

  • 20 ounces — prepared pizza dough

  • 2 tablespoons — olive oil, divided, or as needed

  • 1 cup — pizza sauce, divided

  • 8 ounces — mozzarella cheese, divided

  • ½ cup — cooked Italian sausage, or to taste

  • ½ cup — cooked mushrooms, or to taste

  • ½ cup — cooked red onions, or to taste

Directions

  • Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Add 1 piece of dough and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 minutes and flip. Spread 1/4 of the sauce over the dough. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese and some sausage, mushrooms, and red onion on top, leaving about 1/2 inch of dough around the outside. Press gently into the middle of the dough with a spatula to make a crease; fold in half.
  • Brush crust with a little more olive oil and flip over. Repeat on the other side and continue cooking until both sides of the pizzadilla are as browned and crisp as you like.
  • Repeat with remaining pizza dough and toppings. Cut each pizzadilla in half and serve.
