Amazing yet delicious pizza toppings

Alternative pizza sauces

Probably the majority of Neapolitan pizza chefs do not even accept the existence of the garlic-sour cream base. The basic pizza sauce is made from hand-squeezed tomatoes, sea salt and basil.

Nevertheless, in other parts of the world, where Neapolitans don't see it, it's worth trying something other than the basic pizza sauce.

Pizza sauce made from cantaloupe

Cantaloupe and Parma ham are good friends, they are also a brilliant pair on pizza. Make a puree out of the cantaloupe, spread it on the pasta, put the mozzarella on it, and put into the oven. After baking, pile a portion of Parma ham on it. Pour a dose of olive oil on top, and the summer version of the Parma ham pizza is ready.

Lemon pizza sauce

It may be surprising, but if you grate lemon peel into a little melted butter and cook it with a little cream for a few minutes, the end result will be a great little pizza sauce. Spread the raw dough with this aromatic sauce and after sprinkling the mozzarella, it can be baked. After baking, grate some more fresh lemon peel on top and sprinkle with parmesan shavings fried to a crisp.

Toppings

Although traditional pizzerias follow the rules of pizza making quite strictly, there are already places in Italy where they are open to new things.

Rosemary-potato pizza

Put a few potatoes in circles with a little olive oil in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10 minutes. After you have grated a garlic in a portion of sour cream and chopped a little rosemary, spread it on your raw pizza dough. Then come the mozzarella and pre-fried potato slices. After baking, olive oil on top and another dose of fresh rosemary! The rosemary-potato pizza is ready!

Purple cabbage pizza

If you happen to have a portion of steamed cabbage left over after a dinner of duck legs, don't throw it out. Make a pizza dough. Puree half of the cabbage and spread it on the dough. You can go on the pizza with the cheese, the remaining steamed cabbage, and if there is a little duck meat left, put it on it as well. After baking, drizzle with a little olive oil. The end result will be divine!

Caramelized pear-coffee pizza

Caramelize some pear slices with sugar in a little olive oil in a pan. Place your sour cream-coated pizza dough on top and add the mozzarella. After baking, sprinkle everything with roasted coffee beans. Drizzle with olive oil.

The topping that tore the world apart

There is a topping, which is no longer surprising nowadays, but it generates worldwide debates. The topping that can cause marriages to break up. Some people adore it, some people consider it downright sacrilegious. And this topping is none other than pineapple. Which part do you belong to?
