Pizza, originally from Italy, was brought to Brazil by Italian immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over time, Brazilians adapted pizza to their own tastes, incorporating local ingredients and flavors. Calabresa sausage, a type of cured sausage popular in Brazil, became a favorite topping, leading to the creation of Pizza de Calabresa.

Pizza de Calabresa boasts a delightful combination of savory, slightly spicy, and cheesy flavors.
The dominant flavor comes from the calabresa sausage, which is typically smoked and seasoned with paprika and other spices, giving it a distinctive smoky and slightly spicy kick. The onions contribute a mild sweetness and pungency that complements the sausage. The mozzarella cheese provides a creamy, melty base that binds all the flavors together. The tomato sauce (if present, varies by recipe) adds a tangy and slightly sweet note.

Sausage Quality
Use high-quality calabresa sausage for the best flavor. Look for sausages that are well-smoked and have a good balance of spices.
Onion Preparation
Thinly slice the onions to ensure they cook evenly and don't overpower the other flavors. You can also sauté the onions lightly before adding them to the pizza for a more mellow flavor.
Cheese Choice
While mozzarella is the traditional choice, consider adding a blend of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile. Provolone or a mild cheddar can complement the calabresa sausage nicely.
Baking Temperature
Ensure the pizza is baked at a high enough temperature (around 450-500°F or 230-260°C) to achieve a crispy crust and melted cheese. Adjust baking time as needed.
