Are you looking to make your own sausage pizza? Check out our recipe right here for making an Italian sausage that’s perfect as a topping on your next homemade pizza.

On Friday nights, after the kids have put in a hard week at school, our favorite family tradition is to make pizza and watch a movie. One of our go-to pizza toppings is sausage and, since we raise pigs, it’s a marriage made in heaven. My favorite sausage contains a little kick in it while my kids like a sausage with no heat at all. Luckily we have multiple varieties to keep the entire family happy.

It is really easy to take our basic ground sausage and add a few spices to make a great Italian style delicacy. If you prefer a sweet Italian sausage, you should stick with our mild sausage. If you’re like me and want a little spice in your life, choose our medium or hot sausage. We then mix our sausage with parsley, Italian seasoning (store-bought or make your own), fennel seed (if you don’t like fennel you can leave this out), paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
