Submitted by:

Johnsonville takes Italy’s best-loved bean and combines it with one of Italy’s best-known foods. The beans add a delicious texture and work beautifully with the cherry tomatoes, red onion, greens, and Johnsonville’s Sweet Italian Sausage Links. The mozzarella and goat cheese combination is the perfect way to top this hearty pizza.
