Banana Pepper and Italian Sausage Pizza
Banana Pepper is tangy and sweet where Italian sausage is savory and herby, and a shared spicy streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Tangy, mildly sweet banana peppers add a bright crunch and gentle heat to pizza. Fennel-spiced Italian sausage adds a hearty, aromatic richness to any pizza. On a San Marzano Red Sauce base, the sauce's sweet and bright acidity character ties the two together.
