The first time I had a version of this pizza was a Motorino, a pizzeria in the Lower East Side in Manhattan. I’ve been meaning to make my own version at home and it did not disappoint.
Despite all the components involved in making this pizza, it comes together rather quickly. I used some leftover frozen homemade pizza dough, but store bought or some picked up from your local pizzeria would do just fine too. Just make sure to stretch the dough out nice and and thin though.

Brussels Sprouts Pizza Recipe
Brussels Sprouts Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 pound Mozzarella torn into small pieces
- 4 slices thick cut bacon cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced or use grilled onions for way more flavor
- 2 cups brussels sprouts outer leaves removed, sliced in half
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees F. and have a half-sheet sized baking sheet ready.
- In a frying pan on medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Reserve the excess grease in the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and saute the onions in the reserved bacon grease until soft and it begins to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan with slotted spoon and set aside.
- Stretch the pizza dough out onto the baking sheet, pressing it into the corners and drizzle with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Prick the dough with the tines of a fork and par-bake for 5 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle with the torn mozzarella, bacon, caramelized onions and sliced brussels sprouts.
- Cook the pizza for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the brussels sprouts just begin to brown on the edges.
- Remove and let set for 2-3 minutes before slicing to serve.
