Dice sweet potato and combine with enough water to cover it in a pot; bring to a boil. Boil with loose lid on top until potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork. While the sweet potatoes are boiling, peel sausage out of casings. Heat olive oil in pan and add sausage. Crumble with spatula and brown. Rinse spinach, chop, and steam. Chop garlic and add to sausage when it's almost done browning. Set aside. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a floured surface area, roll out pizza dough into 12 inch circle. Place on oiled baking sheet or hot pizza stone. In large bowl, combine sausage and garlic mixture, cooked sweet potatoes, steamed spinach, and mozzarella cheese. Place in one half of pizza dough. Fold over other half and press edges together. Bake for 6-8 minutes.
