Make Sausage Crust
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Use loose sausage. If you have sausage links, remove from casing. spread out with fingers onto baking sheet. Use parchment paper for bottom and plastic wrap for top. Use rolling pin to roll out as thin as you can without forming holes. Place plastic on top of sausage and roll. You will not need any binders.
Sausage will shrink about an inch all around and will yield a good amount of oil.
Bake for 10 to 15 until sausage is browned.
Make Pizza
Once sausage is cooked, sop up any grease with paper towels.
Add about 1/2 cup tomato sauce to pizza crust.
Add mozzarella cheese.
Scatter bell peppers evenly over entire crust.
Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Sprinkle grated pecorino romano cheese if desired.
Put fresh basil on pizza.
Serve immediately, cutting into six pieces.
