The Base: Built on our housemade crust—or our cauliflower crust—with a rich tomato sauce and our signature house cheese blend.

The Perfect Pour: Pair with Le Orme Barbera d’Asti ($12). The bright acidity and red fruit notes of this Barbera are the perfect match for the savory sausage and rich cheese.
An Earthy, Elevated Classic
At Point Nine, we believe pizza is an art form. The Salsiccia is our tribute to traditional Italian flavors, elevated with a few modern trailside twists. It’s a sophisticated choice for a Friday night dinner or a celebratory meal with friends. While many reach for a standard pepperoni, the Salsiccia is for the diner who wants a deeper, more complex flavor profile that lingers long after the last bite.
The Craft: The Secret of the Shiitake
The magic of this pizza lies in the pairing of Italian sausage and shiitake mushrooms. While many kitchens use basic button mushrooms, we chose shiitakes for their rich, umami depth and firm texture. When these earthy mushrooms meet the savory, seasoned Italian sausage atop our housemade crust, the result is a balanced bite that feels both rustic and refined. Our house cheese blend melts into the crevices of the toppings, creating a gooey, savory blanket that holds everything together.
The Point Nine Experience: Dinner on the Patio
The Salsiccia is a favorite for our evening guests looking for a meal that feels a bit more “upscale.” As the sun sets over the Redbud Trail and the patio lights flicker on, there is nothing better than sharing a Salsiccia and a bottle of Le Orme Barbera d’Asti. It’s the kind of meal that encourages you to slow down, stay a while, and enjoy the company you’re with.
