Brunch has never been the same since I whipped up this Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Pizza mashup. You'll get all those cozy morning vibes in one seriously tasty bite. Picture golden biscuits loaded with creamy sausage gravy, then finished off with gooey cheese—it's total bliss. I can't even count how many times this disappears at our weekend get-togethers.
Cozy Southern Inspiration
Biscuits and gravy are a classic in my Southern family. One year, while feeding my hungry crew, I thought it could be even more fun on a pizza. My grandma’s sausage gravy magic plus this playful switch is a new morning crowd pleaser at our place.
Why This Rocks
Nothing beats everyone gathering around a giant breakfast pizza, especially on slow mornings. Folks can't wait to get a slice. It's easy to throw together ahead of time, and it's just as great for a fuss-free weekday as it is for a fancy brunch.
What You’ll Grab
- Biscuits: You can use the ones from your bakery, pop open a can, or go all-out and make them homemade.
- Sausage: Grab quality breakfast sausage—the flavor boost is worth it.
- Milk: I stick with whole milk for a super-smooth gravy.
- Flour: Just a bit helps give your gravy that classic thickness.
- Cheese: Sharp cheddar is incredible, but any melty cheese you like is fair game.
- Extras: Pile on scrambled eggs, herbs, or whatever you fancy.
Kick Off with the Crust
You'll want to start with the biscuits first. I usually bake them in the pan for a couple minutes so they stay crispy once the gravy goes on. Space them out in your biggest skillet—they’ll bake together and make one tasty layer.

Master That Gravy
This is where it gets exciting. Sizzle the sausage, crumbling it as it browns, then stir in flour with all the flavorful bits left in the pan. Gently pour in your milk, whisking until it goes silky and thick. It’s honestly the best part if you ask me.
Putting It All Together
Once the base is ready, slather that savory gravy everywhere. Make sure every inch gets in on the creamy action—don’t hold back here.
Top It Off
Here’s where you do you. I sprinkle on eggs, tons of cheese, and sometimes toss in some sautéed veggies too. My kids go wild when we slice and serve it with all that cheese stretch.
Bake Time
Pop the whole thing in a hot oven at 375°F for just 8 to 10 minutes. You just want the topping nice and bubbly—the rest is already cooked, so you're just letting it all come together.
Dig In
I serve this with strong coffee and maybe some juicy berries or grapes. The mix of creamy, peppery gravy, stretchy cheese, and flaky biscuits is just unbeatable first thing in the morning.

Try New Flavors
Sometimes I throw in a southwestern vibe with jalapeños and pepper jack. Or we keep things simple and double down on black pepper and fresh chopped parsley. However you dress it up, there’s no bad way to make this pizza your own.
Veggie Friendly Version
When friends who don’t eat meat join us, I swap in some plant-based sausage. The texture and taste still come out rich and filling—no one ever misses the meat.
Lighten Things Up
If we're looking for healthier options, I'll grab turkey sausage and bake with whole wheat biscuits. Toss in extra veg like spinach, and it stays just as filling but a little lighter without losing that classic comfort feel.
Good Stuff to Remember
Every slice packs a good bit of protein to keep you full. It's definitely a heartier breakfast than toast and eggs, but totally worth it for those mornings that deserve something special.
Gluten Free Swap
I've hacked a gluten free version using my favorite cup-for-cup flour mix. The biscuits are still fluffy and the gravy thickens up just right.

Prep Ahead Wins
This has totally saved busy mornings around here. I’ll get everything ready at night, then just assemble and pop it in the oven when we wake up. Waking up to that smell—total game changer.
Freeze and Reheat
I like keeping a stash of single slices in the freezer for mornings when nobody feels like cooking. Just wrap them tight, then bake until hot and you’ve got instant comfort food.
Quick Help

A: It's honestly perfect and gives the bottom a great crunch.
