Italian Style Pizza Sausage Crumbles
What it is
These are pre-cooked, seasoned sausage crumbles specifically designed for pizza toppings. They are made from pork and seasoned with a blend of Italian herbs and spices, offering a savory and slightly spicy flavor profile. The crumbles are uniform in size, ensuring even distribution and cooking on your pizza. They are ready to be added directly to your pizza before baking, saving you preparation time.
