Print Recipe

This mouthwatering dish combines the best of two worlds: the classic flavors of meatball subs and the cheesy goodness of pizza. Imagine tender meatballs nestled on a bed of rich tomato sauce, alongside melted mozzarella and sprinkled with savory herbs. Not only is this recipe incredibly tasty, but it’s also a breeze to put together with the help of a few store-bought essentials. Let’s get to it!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup tomato pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12–15 cooked meatballs (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature for your pizza dough, typically around 450°F (230°C).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a greased pizza stone or baking sheet.
  3. Spread the tomato pizza sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then evenly distribute the cooked meatballs on top. If the meatballs are extra large, you can slice them so they are more manageable to bite.
  5. Drizzle the olive oil over the entire pizza. Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder for extra flavor.
  6. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

While this recipe is fantastic on its own, feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings like sliced bell peppers, onions, or olives to make it your own. You can also try adding some crushed red pepper flakes for a kick or fresh chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. For speed, use store-bought pre-made pizza dough, meatballs, and pre-shredded mozzarella. If you have time to make any or all of these from scratch though, definitely feel free!
