minutes

30 minutes

This pizza takes the Margherita flavor-a combination of tomatoes, basil, and Mozzarella cheese-and gives it a Johnsonville upgrade! The Mild Italian Sausage Links are beautifully spiced to give this pizza favorite a more filling flavor. The addition of garlic, parsley, and oregano truly takes the Margherita pizza to new heights.
