Morphology
The phrase combines two concrete food nouns so its meaning — a pizza that has sausage on it — is directly and predictably derived from 'sausage' + 'pizza'. This noun–noun compounding for toppings is a common, cross-linguistic culinary pattern and would be immediately clear to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Sausage pizza comes from putting pieces of sausage on a pizza with tomato sauce and cheese, so it simply means 'a pizza topped with sausage'.
