Mortadella Pistachio
“A Sicilian dream of silky mortadella, pistachio pesto, and luscious burrata.”
Mortadella Pistachio is an ode to Sicily's famous Bronte pistachios and Italy's most underrated deli meat. Pistachio pesto creates a rich, nutty base for folds of silky mortadella and a crown of burrata that spills its creamy center across the pie. Crushed pistachios add crunch, and lemon zest provides a citrus spark that makes every component sing louder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should the mortadella go on before or after baking?
Add the mortadella after baking, draped in loose folds across the hot pizza. This preserves its silky texture and delicate flavor rather than drying it out in the oven.
Where can I find pistachio pesto?
Specialty grocery stores often carry it, or you can make your own by blending roasted pistachios, basil, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
