Preheat your your pizza oven for at least 15 to 20 minutes until it reaches a temperature of around 752°F (400°C). You can use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature accurately. If you're using a pizza stone in your oven or BBQ, place the stone in the oven or BBQ before preheating it to a maximum or it might break. Keep an eye on the oven while preheating to am maximum in case of any fire developing.
Add the pizza sauce to the base by distributing it evenly with the back of a spoon covering the whole base apart from 1/2 inch of the edge.
1 pizza base, 1/4 cup pizza sauce
Remove the casing from the Merguez, break up the meat, and add the raw sausage evenly to the base in approx. 1/2 inch pieces. Add red onion rings and crumble feta cheese on top.
1 Merguez sausage, 1/4 red onion, 1/4 cup feta cheese
Cook the pizza for 1-2 minutes in your pizza oven, rotating it frequently to prevent the crust from burning. If you're cooking it on a pizza stone in your conventional oven or BBQ, it'll take about 10 minutes to cook.
Remove the sausage pizza from the pizza oven, oven, or BBQ, drizzle over your hot sauce of choice, and garnish with freshly cut mint. Slice and serve immediately!

Notes
Preheat oven: Make sure the pizza oven or conventional oven are pre-heated well to reduce the amount of time the pizza needs to cook and for the crust to nicely puff up.Delicate toppings: Make sure to add delicate toppings such as fresh mint after baking the pizza or it will burn and become bitter due to the high temperature.Storage: Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days. I don't recommend freezing it.
