Italian Sausage and Fennel Pizza
Italian Sausage is savory and spicy where fennel is sweet and fresh, and a shared herby streak keeps the two pulling in the same direction.
Fennel-spiced Italian sausage adds a hearty, aromatic richness to any pizza. Thinly sliced fennel adds a delicate, anise-like sweetness that caramelizes beautifully. On a Classic Basil Pesto base, the sauce's herbaceous and garlicky character ties the two together.
