    What makes this pizza so special? After taking this bubbling, cheesy, spicy soppressata pizza from the oven, it’s drizzled with honey! Spicy soppressata and sweet, golden honey is a surprising but delicious combination you must try!

    Have you ever heard of a “bee sting” pizza? I hadn’t until a recent dinner at one of my favorite local Italian restaurants. As its name suggests, a bee stick pizza is spicy, hence the “sting” but also sweet because after baking, it’s drizzled with honey, which is where the “bee” comes in.

    This recipe is super-simple and only requires a few ingredients! Start with store-bought pizza dough or make your own. After that, all you need is canned tomatoes, mozzarella, spicy soppressata (or pepperoni), and a little bit of honey. I love any dinner that I can throw on a sheet pan, put in the oven, and call it a day. For another excellent sheet pan dinner, check out these chicken tacos al pastor.

    Recipe Steps:

    Step 1. Roll out the Dough

    Roll the pizza dough out into a large rectangle. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet, spread with the tomatoes, then a layer of soppressata, then cheese, and then basil.

    Step 2. Bake

    Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

    Step 3. Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and a drizzle of honey. Serve immediately!
