What’s the difference between Sausage and Spicy Italian Sausage on Pizza?

The simple and quick answer is that Italian sausage is just tastier and filled with good ingredients that will add so much flavour to your pizza.

You don’t necessarily need to use a spicy Italian sausage. Feel free to use a regular Italian sausage, like a Toscana variety (Tuscan sausage).

Even if you use a sweet sausage you can make your pizza spicy by adding Belmorso Cannonata or super spicy by adding our Italian chilli dip.

 

Spicy Italian Sausage Types

If you prefer a spicy Italian sausage, I suggest trying Salsiccia Abruzzese from the Abruzzo region, the famous Lucanica from Basilicata or the Calabrian Nduja sausage.
