For a twist on classic, crowd-pleasing pizza, we’re using delightfully chewy focaccia bread as the base—topped with a hearty meat sauce and a duo of fontina and mozzarella cheeses. We’re serving it all alongside a loaded salad of crunchy romaine, briny olives, sweet peppers, and more.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 475°F. Roughly chop the roasted peppers. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sausage. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned. Add the tomatoes (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and chopped roasted peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is slightly thickened and the sausage is cooked through. Turn off the heat.
Halve the bread; place on a sheet pan, cut side up. Evenly top with the cooked sausage and sauce, mozzarella (tearing into small pieces before adding), and fontina. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Carefully transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Roughly chop the lettuce. Cut off and discard the stems of the sweet peppers; remove the cores, then thinly slice into rings. Roughly chop the olives. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Crumble the Grana Padano into small pieces. Combine in a large bowl.
In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, oregano, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, add the dressing to the bowl of prepared salad ingredients; toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cut the baked pizza into equal-sized pieces. Serve the pizza with the salad on the side. Enjoy!
