Don Pepino's Spaghetti Pizza Pie 🍕
This pizza will make you. "Wow!"
Don Pepino's Spaghetti Pizza Pie is a celebration of the ultimate Italian comfort food and the cream of the crop when it comes to a new way of pizza and pasta!
Imagine everything you love about a hearty plate of spaghetti and everything you crave in a great pizza coming together in one incredible dish. This isn't just dinner- it’s so much more.
A delicious crust made from perfectly cooked spaghetti noodles, baked to a crisp, and then topped with the secret weapon: the sauce.
The rich, bold flavor of Don Pepino's Pizza Sauce combines beautifully with carefully selected Italian herbs to create a pizza-inspired layer that elevates every bite. It's the ingredient that ties the entire dish together and gives this pie its signature character.
Simmered with heavily spiced Italian sausage, the sauce transforms something so ordinary into a delicious and truly unforgettable gastronomic sensation.
A generous blanket of melted cheese baked until bubbly brown? You know your mouth is watering.
Perfection.
One slice is never enough.
Don Pepino's Spaghetti Pizza Pie
6 oz. spaghetti
1 egg
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, grated (and divided in half)
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. butter
¼ medium yellow onion, diced
¼ red bell pepper, diced
¼ green bell pepper, diced
sea salt and pepper
1-2 tsp. fresh Italian herbs, finely chopped
½ lb. King Soopers Italian sausage**
1 can Don Pepino’s Pizza Sauce
1 cup Italian cheese mix, shredded
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the egg, 1/2 the cheese, sour cream, and plenty of salt and pepper. Stir well.
Line a 9-11” pie or cake plate with parchment paper. Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp.
Remove from the oven
Heat the oil and butter in the same pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and peppers, as well as additional salt and pepper.
Cook and stir until the onion is translucent.
Add the sausage and continue cooking and stirring, breaking up the sausage into small pieces with the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in the Italian herbs.
Once the sausage is cooked through, add the pizza sauce.
Pour the sauce over the top of the crispy baked crust.
Top with the remaining Parmesan and additional Italian cheese blend.
Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly brown.
Remove from the oven and cool for just a few minutes before slicing and serving!
You’re absolutely crazy if you don’t fall in love with this. Crazy!
In fact, there is no one on the face of the earth who does not love this pie.
**This is very important. My mother taught me well. There is something magical about King Soopers flavor recipe (aka City Market or Kroger). The fennel, the red pepper…who knows. But it’s simply not the same without it.
