I would definitely make this pizza again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a thinner crust and I would add more vegetables.

The crust was a bit too thick for my liking, but the toppings were delicious.

This pizza was a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sausage.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this pizza. The sausage and mozzarella cheese were a great balance to the pesto.
