Ingredients
  

  • Italian style pork meatballs at least 6 and can be plant based for a vegan version
  • Premade pizza crust or make your own using your favorite recipe I used Cappello’s almond flour crust, you can find in the freezer isle.
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil EVOO
  • 1/2 tsp Dash Italian Medley seasoning
  • Pizza sauce roughly 1/4-1/2 cup
  • Italian blend cheese about 1/2 cup
  • Black olives

Instructions
 

  • Cook meatballs as directed on package. I baked on a foil-lined baking sheet at 375℉ for 30-33 minutes. When finished baking, remove meatballs from oven. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then slice in half and set aside.
  • Add olive oil and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Place pizza crust on a pizza pan and brush outer edges with the olive oil mixture.
  • Spoon desired amount of pizza sauce on crust, spreading to about 1/2 inch of the edge. You can sprinkle a little extra Italian seasoning on at this point, if desired.
  • Add sliced meatballs (cut side down) in a heart shape on top of the sauce.
  • Add cheese around and in the center of the meatballs, then load with desired toppings. I love olives, so add outlined the meatballs in sliced black olives. Another great choice would be diced red peppers for a pop of color.
  • Bake as directed on the crust instructions. For my frozen Capello’s almond flour crust I baked 15 minutes or until the cheese was bubbly and starting to brown (I like my crust crisp!)
  • For an extra pop of romantic color, add more pizza sauce in the shape of a heart and cook one minute longer just to warm the sauce up. Slice and enjoy!
