The Great Beyond Pizza pairs Beyond Italian Sausage with veggie-friendly toppings like tomatoes, red onions, and banana peppers on Pizza Hut's Original Pan crust. On the other hand, the Beyond Italian Sausage Pizza is a simpler option that features Beyond Italian Sausage crumbles and a blend of authentic Italian herbs and spices like garlic, paprika, onion, and fennel.
