These sausage and peppers hit the same comfort-food notes as Italian classics.
Sausage and peppers is one of those classic combos that just goes together perfectly, and is more commonly found in Italian restaurants. Whether it’s on pasta, pizza, or an amazing sub, this hearty and delicious combo is always a good idea (especially during the colder months when you need some comfort food). If you’re craving really good sausage and pepper and don’t have access to a great Italian eatery, there are plenty of chains with menu options that will hit the spot. Here are five chain restaurants with the best sausage and peppers, according to diners.

Portillo’s Italian Beef & Sausage Combo (char-grilled, flavorful Italian pork sausage topped with homemade, slow-roasted Italian beef on freshly baked Turano French bread and topped with oven-roasted sweet peppers or hot giardiniera peppers) is a fan-favorite menu item. “It may not look like much, but this Portillo’s beef/sausage combo- dipped and double hot is a thing of absolute beauty,” one diner shared. “I’m gonna need to find a clone recipe, because it’s been far too long without this specific deliciousness in my life.”
