### Full Instructions

**Preparing the Biscuit Crust:**
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces of butter.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay!
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Cut the dough into a circle that fits your pizza pan or baking sheet. Transfer the biscuit dough to the pan.

**Cooking the Sausage Gravy:**
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
3. Gradually pour in the milk while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat once thick and creamy.

**Assembling the Pizza:**
1. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, covering it to the edges.
2. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the gravy. If using bacon, add it on top of the cheese.
3. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the biscuit crust is cooked through.

**Finishing Touches:**
1. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing.
2. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.
3. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!

### Notes
– For the best biscuit texture, ensure your butter is very cold. You can freeze it for a few minutes before using.
– If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 3/4 cup milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
