Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use Burrata as the only cheese on a San Marzano Red pizza?
While Burrata brings wonderful flavor, it works best as a featured cheese alongside a base layer of mozzarella. The mozzarella provides the stretchy, melty texture pizza needs, while Burrata adds its distinctive character. Distribute it in dollops or scattered pieces for the best balance.
What other toppings pair well with Burrata and San Marzano Red sauce?
Fresh Basil and Cherry Tomatoes are excellent companions for this combination. Fresh Basil adds a complementary flavor dimension, while Cherry Tomatoes provides additional contrast that rounds out the overall pizza. You can use all three toppings together for a well-balanced pie.
