Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pre-cook Arugula before adding it to a White Garlic Parmesan Cream pizza?

A quick 5-8 minute saute is usually sufficient before topping your White Garlic Parmesan Cream pizza.
What other toppings pair well with Arugula and White Garlic Parmesan Cream sauce?
Prosciutto and Parmesan are excellent companions for this combination. Prosciutto adds a complementary flavor dimension, while Parmesan provides additional contrast that rounds out the overall pizza. You can use all three toppings together for a well-balanced pie.
